MINI United is happening again next year, in conjunction with the original, and classic Mini's 50th anniversary. The good news is that it's in the UK, which means we should be able to go with a minimum of fuss. This is a crazy 3 days, which usually has the MINI Challenge race finals on the same weekend so it's like watching F1 for MINIs, there's usually nightclubs on site, top bands and DJs, delicious restaurants, shops with MINI stuff for sale, and usually they have some serious MINIs on display, and some gorgeous classics too.
I was at the one in 2005 in Misano, Italy (Anyone who's seen the mirror caps on my car knows that of course), and it was crazy, there were 6000 people at it.
