UPCOMING: The first MINI run, five years after

On November 16th 2002, I joined a total of 11 MINIs on my first ever MINI drive from MINI of Peabody to Woodmans in Essex … see this posted-after-the-fact weblog entry for pictures. Back then I had no website - not even a digital camera (I borrowed one from the office!)

Now, five years on, it’s time to celebrate that first MINI drive and the many drives, friends and smiling miles since then, with a reprieve of that first drive … I’ve laid out the likely route on Google Maps, which will take us from MINI of Peabody through Manchester and Gloucester along (coastal) route 127, with various photo opportunities, before heading back to Essex for lunch at Woodmans:
