Charleston Run / Intro to MINI World

Posted by murmini Thu, 08 Feb 2007 21:55:34 GMT

Last week end's run to Charleston was a real treat. We had a great send off from our usual coffee shop before hitting the highway.

Catherine and Heather, while unable to attend the drive, showed for an early coffee as did Blake and crew. Then Stephanie and I made a small but determined convoy for the trip north with Susan and Drew as passengers. We stopped on the way (all that coffee!) and arrived in Charleston to find as many MINIs opposite the dealership as there were at the dealership! A truly great turn out from the Low Country MINI people - a total of 11 cars and 18 people. Then off to Sullivan's Island for lunch and then another photo op at the USS Yorktown. There are a couple of write-ups with some great picture on Stephanie's and Matt's blogs. Rumor has it that we will be heading north again next month for a run to Hunting Island..more later.

My friends Susan and Drew came along to 'experience' a little motoring. Susan owns Paragon, a creative services company in Savannah and Drew is the creative director in the firm. They have been very interested in MINI's marketing strategies of recent and the owner enthusiasm that is so prevalent within the MINI community, so they wanted to experience the evangelism first hand. Susan has written a great article that she promises to be part of a series. It was fun introducing an outsider to our ways and I know everyone enjoyed you both coming along.

Now Susan..... you need to get a MINI!
