Sometimes I just doodle things, and sometimes a MINIon really does capture their MINIon’s likeness. I met MINIon 1963 at the opening party in San Francisco and frankly is was pretty easy to doodle a MINIon in a beret instead of a fez.
Being an old MINI owner having motored since 2005 and gone on some portion of every MTTS, I discovered it was easier to meet new people since there weren’t that many people. As the events have grown, many people drive with their friends (people they know from home). I, on the other hand, prefer to travel with my friends – who are people from all over the place and kind of avoid the people I can drive with every weekend. That’s how the MINIons started and that core group has grown and grown, with its own splinter groups that join for a few miles, and move on. We gather at breakfast and at our destination, I kind of wish there were more destinations so I could get to know everyone better.
