While my sone and I had a great time, we’ve since decided to sell our 2004 MINI Cooper S. Any advice on where and how to sell a used MINI?

Comment on Music to our ears — it’s the MoT CD Contest! by MNIMUM

Hi JCWCOMP62,
I’m proud to say that the winning CD picked was MINE!! Of course I may have been the only entry….
As I will be running the CD contest next year per tradition, I will contact Beth to see what I am in for!!! Like how many entries, etc…
Everyone is admiring my cool GlitterBall Trophy, and the Mini driving up it with the mini (MINI) bumper sticker “This car Boogied up Mt Washington” is perfect, as it matches my Red MINI!!
Anyway: The songs were:
1. School’s Out by Alice COOPER (see what I did there!?),
2. Running On Empty by Jackson Browne (cuz you can drive a MINI forever on empty),
3. Layla by Derek and the Dominoes cuz it is such a 70’s classic, and finally
4. Crazy On You by Heart, still an awesome song.
I wanted to include The Long and Winding Road (for obvious reasons) but it just seemed too slow, and I Can See Clearly Now, but for some reason I didn’t… (maybe if I had, we would have had better visibility at the Top??? my bad!)
I have some ideas for next year’s contest theme and trophy, but nothing solid yet.
I had requested that the winning songs be announced, so that will continue, and I would like to assemble the entries and play them all during the tent or reception (if I have the opportunity – like I say: WHAT am I in for?!), but I’m not sure if that is possible with the set up at the tent… It would be cool to make a soundtrack to distribute to MOT attendees, but that would really break the royalty and copyright laws, I am sure!!!
See you next year!! Motor On!

That’s so cool – every time I check back on this MOT page, the most current weather is displayed! (And by cool, I also mean temperature “COOL”!!)

I’ve been fortunate to attend every MOT. Every one has been different but excellent in their own way. This year was no exception, thanks to everyone who participated and my fellow Yellow Hats.

I’ve run the Obs Tours every year, too. But I must admit this was the first time I lost anyone On Top! I’m sure you could “see” why the Obs staff nixed climbing into the turret (for only the second time).

As always, it was great to see old friends and meet new ones. Hope to see you all in 2011 – or picking blueberries on 31 July in Troy NH:

Well all I can say is it was another great MOT!! This was our 4th MOT and can’t wait for #5!! We have met so many great people from this event and are thrilled every year to see more and more new faces. Awesome job Sarah and Richard and all the other volunteers, you all rock!! Good luck with your wedding Sarah and Brian, who would have ever guessed MOT would result in a marriage! Too bad you didn’t plan the ceremony at the top of Mt. Washington during MOT, LOL.

The roads were great and weather not so bad overall. It was nice to have Bear Notch all nicely paved for us this year. We really enjoyed the curves on that road this year. See you all next year!!

-Bob & Lori

@ Dave,

Other good web sites for information on activities and general info and in some cases very specific info about your mini are.

1. NAM (North American Motoring) http://www.northamericanmotoring.com (good for asking question about how your mini works or how to do work on your mini)

2. NEMINI (North East MINI) http://www.nemini.org (see the Meets, Rallys and Runs section for activities)

3. NEMO (New England MINI Owners) http://www.nemomini.org

Hope to see you attend some of the other activities this summer.

It was difficult to hear most of the evening’s announcements at the back of the tent… who and which songs were the MoT CD Contest winners? … maybe a list of all the entrant’s picks? I would be interested to hear other’s taste in music from MoT’10. Thanks!
