Is there any info as far as the hotel goes?

Just an Old Town reminder. Friday for new/modified cars, Saturday for classics. It's an every week event, Let's get the right cars there on the right nights and show to support eachother.

I've looked into the Old Town shows and dropped by once....

R they sticklers for their rules?
http://www.old-town.com/car_show_rules.html

Cuz if so note that Sat is 1972 and older

And Fri is 73 thru 87, or newer IF you have 4 or more mods from their list, which is primarily exterior stuff like paint, ground effects etc.

Or is MINI/Mini going to be a featured car club allowing special access?????

A few years back, they let ALL new MINIs in for Friday night's cruise. There were quite a few MINIs that had zero mods to them. I think for that particular cruise, all MINIs are welcome.

Don't you know ALL classic Minis are 1972 & older... :roll:

I wouldn't count on MINIs being alowed in on a Saturday show. They were new & different then, but not now. They likely would let a large club of new MINIs in on Friday just for filler/uniqueness. IMO

82 or older today....

Post by captbj »

No, all classic Mini's are 1982 or older today....and starting Tuesday 1983 or older

to make them legally imported .... :waving:

Break

... that was the reason I asked....because if folks get excited about participating and no special arrangement has been made, there may be unhappy folk as most MINI will be excluded. Depending on if OT actually gives a damn.

OK, let me re-state it in more understandable terms... :roll:

For Saturdays night's Old Town ALL classic Minis are 1972 or older [or they don't get in]. Those generally have been the instructions given by Sharon to owners to assure all participate even tho they own 1982's...while they might waive the requirement for such a large group on a special occasion, they don't any other Saturday night.
