MINI of Peabody “Hrach” rally 2011

An early start to MINI of Peabody today, but lots of MINIs there when I got there!

There was even one classic Mini!

I’ve done lots of MINI rallies and this one heads right past work and then down Apple Street (more twisty than it looks on Google Maps!), so I headed off to park and take pictures as the other cars went by …

Soon, Brig passed by in a Coupe, leading the rally, and followed by many other MINIs …

I didn’t catch every MINI (Sony camera apparently has to rest regularly!), but there’s lots more in the Gallery; after a wait, I headed back to the dealership for breakfast and chats with friends (and to check out Ivan’s next MINI!) …

    It’s good to see Ian involved in MINI stuff again.

    Hmmm … I got an offer on the GP yesterday …

    What a great sunny and warm November day to remember Hrach! Nice to see you and the GP again and some great pictures on your site of the rallye and breakfast. If you sell the GP you just have to get another MINI – perhaps a Roadster JCW?

    Unfortunately couldn’t make the event to mark the great Hrach, but he lives in our fondest memories that’s for sure. Well if anyone doesn’t get Ian’s GP who is chasing one, mine may be available early next year.
