Today everyone returned to the Rosebowl to brave the heat and get as much motoring action in as possible before the close MINI Takes the States LA and entire 2008 tour.
MINI Owners started the day with a Parade rally, while future MINI Owners kept a good crowd at the MINI-cross, by far the most popular activity for both days. Thanks to Vinnie and the gang for coordinating test-drives and providing some key motoring tips to use throughout the course.
Local LA music stations and SIRIUS radio provided the tunes for all areas of the festival including the games section, food and beverage area, and MINI market. Fireball Tim had a great set up among the tents which included a portable movie screen projecting videos featuring his customized MINI Cooper designs. Performance biker Jeff Lenosky was also back to give one more jaw-dropping demo for the crowd.
As the MINI Owners returned from the last rally, everyone gathered to celebrate the last day in LA with a great BBQ spread and collect some fun MTTS souvenirs.
Thanks again to MINI USA, event staff, all the wonderful sponsors, MINI clubs, MINI Owners & friends for making this event and entire tour a success. Looking forward to seeing everyone on the road and of course, at the next MINI Takes the States event in 2010. Motor on!
