Thanks for sharing your great pictures Pat! I love the Mini's racing in the rain.

Thanks guys for the complements.

Yes, we all had a good time, there where four of us from AZ that made it to Brainerd, MN. Ken and I drove hauling the blue Mini and race Mini. Simon and Jeff flew back.



We made a stop in Wichita to do some work on my brother's Mini, which is one wicked fast Mini (btw it was also my first Mini).



I don't know which was more of a rush, driving his Mini or riding in his 930 turbo Porsche, scarry fast! He thought I was too crazy to let me thrash his Porsche.

The 930 is one of my favorite cars of all time! I love those things.

We were just watching a replay of Barret-Jackson Tampa last weekend and was amazed to see 930s going for low 40s and a couple even in the high 30s... amazing how the economy has hit that market too... great car...
