What a treat! Mistress and our mate, Bill, decided to take yours truly to a special event. It was held in Greensboro and introduced the new Mini convertable. As you see those two nice Bobbies were taking good care of the showcars. Meself, was parked right behind their car and had a pleasant evening chatting about life with an actual police "vee-hickle" ( I do hope I've pronounced that correctly. It took me a bit of time to correct my accent).
Look at this odd fellow, would you? He's taken his bike and is doing flips and hops and all sorts of gyrations over top of a Mini Cabriolet! Looks a bit of a giggle, but dratted dangerous. I'm willing to bet that a Mini could do that though. I understand that these fellows were a BMX team who compete in extreme sports all over the US of A.
There were two quite good bands supplying the music. Bill takes guitar lessons from the fellow on the far right, and this band, Second Look, was our favorite.
It was very windy at the event, and that caused some problems for the BMX bike riders, and some of the tents nearly took flight, but I thought it felt jolly good. This turned out to be quite a fun evening. I'm hoping there will be an event to celebrate the 50th anniversary of MINI! And, of course, my First!
