Magical Mystery Mini Tour - Sept 5-7, 2008

Postby zied » Sat Jun 21, 2008 6:14 pm

The Magical Mystery Mini Tour will be hosted by Redwood Empire Mini Enthusiasts. This is a 3 day International event to be staged on Treasure Island in the San Francisco Bay. This event should be one of the largest Mini-MINI events in the US in 2008, possibly eclipsing even MTTS in Los Angeles.

Because of the tanking of the US dollar and the favorable exchange rate, we are getting registrations not only from United States and Canada, but also Great Britain, Italy, and Japan with interested possible participants from China, Australia, and New Zealand. Group packages for hotel accommodations have been arranged, but since this is not a hotel based event, feel free to get more affordable rooms using online hotel reservation sites.

Cars can be left on Treasure Island overnight so that you can avoid costly parking at San Francisco Hotels. 24 hour security will be provided. Busses are available on a regular schedule from Treasure Island to downtown San Francisco. There are multiple runs planned throughout the weekend, on-site vendors, classic/rare car display in our Main Pavilion Tent, and a BBQ catered banquet Saturday night with a live Beatles Tribute band playing until 10pm Saturday night on the grassy field with the San Francisco skyline as a back drop. Vendor’s booths will be open until 10pm each night.

You won't want to miss this event! Hotel rooms will get difficult to get as we approach September, so make hotel reservations soon. Our arranged group rates are only available until July 5th... then you will be on your own finding sleeping accommodations.

We did think about this event , We had a wonderful time 2 years ago on the 'California Dreamin ' run taking in LA , highway 1 , San Francisco ,( inc Lombard street early one morning ), on to Yosemite , Death Valley , Vegas , Grand Canyon and on to San Diego via some of Route 66 , We were lucky to do all this in 3 MINIs . so when I saw this event I thought seriously about returning but with commitments in France the same time We had to give it a miss , but we will be back !! with the weak dollar , strong Euro it makes really good economic sense to visit the USA at the moment . best of luck with the event and perhaps We will visit in 09 .

If you are in Northern CA in 2009, please make sure you contact me when you are in the planning stages for your trip. There are no roads in the entire US like northern CA roads... thats north of San Francisco...

Wow what a weekend! What an event! Thank you to all that helped make this a huge success by attending and supporting the Northern California Mini-MINI Community .

With all the runs and off-site activities, there was no way to easily determine how successful this was until the cars starting filling up the parking lot for the banquet dinner Saturday night followed by the live concert by the Sun Kings.

We have an unofficial count of over 360 cars in the parking lot in the early evening, but the lot continued to fill after dark during the concert. There was no evening fog and just slight cool breeze making the San Francisco skyline a sparkling backdrop for the band.

Over $10,000 worth of merchandise and services were awarded as door prizes during the banquet dinner, between sets at the concert, and on Sunday morning just before the Santa Cruz Mountains run. If you missed the Magical Mystery Mini Tour, you truly missed a one of a kind event!
