MINIsOnTop 2005 – The Morning After
This morning there were a lot of dirty MINIs, caused by the wet weather yesterday, and the slippery auto road … perhaps unsurprisingly this one was the worst:
Some people were chatting, some were washing their car:
Even Steve washed GOMINI – and washing for him is a distant second to motoring!
On the way home, after catching up & passing John and Maureen, and visiting Pollys Pancakes, I caught a Hot Orange Convertible heading south on 93:
We had fun playing “follow the leader” for a while & snapping pics (hopefully the owner will make contact so I can see his pics):
Of course there are more MINIsOnTop Morning After pics in the Gallery as well as pics from the main event and from Friday night.
Previous years MINIsOnTop can be found here: 2003 2004
Phew! A great weekend, requiring three hours to sort and post all the pics & write-ups … now I have to go online and see what everyone else has to say!

I can’t imagine a motel, in SoCal allowing any body to use their water to wash a vehicle. I think you’d get shoot. I could be wrong but I doubt it.

The Town & Country Inn is very supportive of our event … of course we reciprocate with lots of business for them

Was the water scalding hot again in the morning? I think it melted all the wax off my car and half the skin off my hand…when I got into the car after washing it was very warm inside!

No – the water was cold. Whatever was wrong with the plumbing on Saturday was sorted for Sunday …
