MiniFest, 5 November 2006
Any Mini, any condition!
A day of all things Mini in Tasmania. And what a day - the forecast was drizzle, the reality was a sunny start, cloudy later, and cold but no wetness. We managed to attract about 180 Minis, including seven off the showroom floor at Hobart MINI Garage. And boy, did we ever clog the streets of Hobart on our cruise through the city!
You can read a report on the day here.
Here are some photos of the great event...
