Great Run To Beaufort
Had a terrific turnout for the run to Beaufort today and the weather was most obliging. A little cool and windy but sunny and bright.
10 MINIS showed up from as far away as Sumter, Myrtle Beach and Matt and Jimmy brought down two brand new 2007 MINI Cooper S models for our enjoyment. Big thanks to MINI of Charleston for the support. We even stopped and looked at a couple of classic minis on the way home. Stephaine has posted some great pictures of the day here.
The food was excellent, the company congenial and a jolly good time was had by all.
