Drive the Mile ‘06

May 7, 2006 - Milwaukee, WI

[Show as slideshow]

Bright one early Sunday morning, the MINIs meet under the Walgreens sign.

Suddenly, they're off!

In hot pursuit, a British Racing Green MCS. And what's that behind there? Why it's a convertible MINI!

What's this, MINIs coming at us as well?!

MINIs do a quick U-turn. We went straight, when we should have turned. But isn't that the motoring way?

$5.00 Parking! Not for us, we're racing today.

And so is everyone else with a classic car! Whatever will this long string of MINIs do?

Jump the queue! Goodbye Pontiacs. Eat our dust.

Queuing. Again. But isn't that the British way? Find a queue. Join it.

Bessie and I. Aren't we the pair!

Across a field of green and below the Toyota sign, the MINIs await instruction.

Jenny poses happily with Bessie.

Once again, we shift gears.

Where do they have us going this time?

And so, the MINIs seem to have found a permanent resting place. Right next to the Volkswagons for some odd reason.

There we are. A merry band of MINIs.

And the first set of MINIs are ready to roll!

There they go...

A red MINI in the lead, followed by a red MINI, and another red MINI closing in...

It's our turn now! Yeah!

Trailing behind us...

Our top speed: 60.

The finishing touches for the car show: California Duster and wheel cleaning.

Silly Goose! This is sure to be a movie by Disney next year. A young gosling grows up near a racetrack, picks up speeding habits, and, well, I don't know. It's a stupid movie from the beginning.

We thought this was cute. Jenny and I that is.

Dad's pick of the day. Someday, his will look this nice too. Except for all the racing gear that is.

Views of the show.

Young and Old, New and Vintage.

The MINIs are there behind the modded VW Beetles.

The MINI Owners mingle.

Cute little race cars. My fav! Oh to be rich!

And so goodbye as we travel through the tunnel.

There's the Herb Kohl Milk House. Oh how I miss cherry milk! I can't wait for State Fair. Actually, the milk is the best thing about State Fair. Cream Puffs too I suppose. But this is the closest Bessie will get to either.
