I believe that the plan is to park by class. We have enough MINIs to make this happen and I think it will be a really cool event. This is no different than literally every other car show that I have attended. I have an 07S, 08JCW and a Classic so I am sure that one them will be in a different class :).

I am not sure if you are making a veiled threat about there being a problem or maybe I am just reading into your statement a bit too much. If this is indeed a problem for you, then I recommend giving up your spot to someone else.

I think the class parking will be great. We should have done it sooner if you ask me. It just makes sense. I'm not sure why people are upset they can't park by someone specifically. It's not like there will be thousands of cars there and you won't see them. Park your car in your class and sit by your friends.

I'm pretty sure it will be by R number, so people can see the differences in the cars overt the years.....I understand some people are bringing 2 cars, if it's a problem not being able to park next to your other car, maybe only bring one car and that will let someone else attend too?

We have 3 MINIs/Minis registered for the event so I understand the "want" to park next to each other. However, with so many cars for this show it will be cool to group them. I haven't seen the groupings but I would assume it will go along the lines of Generation.

Either way, I am stoked for the event!

Hi Wayne! Good question. (For those who missed Wayne's question before he edited it, he asked how parking would take place at the car show. I can insert a screenshot of his question/comment if it would be helpful.)

Cars are being grouped as they are at most car shows. It's so exciting to see this show grow from 9 cars to a show large enough we can do this. We heard your suggestions the last few years and are giving it a go this time!

Row 1 is Cabrios (in order of year), Coupe and Paceman with a notable car tucked in the end spot (a 2002!).

Row 2 is entirely Clubman. (Such great representation from the Clubbies this year!)

Row 3 is 2003-2005 MC and MCS, grouped by year.

Row 4 is 2006-2013 MC and MCS, grouped by year.

Row 5 is 2013-2015 MC and MCS plus all of the Countryman.

Row A is all of the Classics. (Holy wow, folks, where did we get all of these Classics? YAY!)

There are so many multi-MINI/Mini families now. Some are parked together, ALL are parked within a good shout of each other. Since we are all one MiniFamily, I hope this meets everyone's approval.

Wayne, if your question was specific to your family, your gorgeous cabrio is boot-to-boot with a pepper white Clubman you may recognize. That is the way things laid out. Most of us in Multi-MINI/Mini families are not together, but close enough to have one heckuva great time on the 16th.

Dang, you got that figured out nicely. I'm excited to see how it all looks on the day and see the progression of the brand through the years.

Thank you, however you know it wasn't just me who figured this out. A few of us have been to The Roasterie several times as recently as yesterday afternoon. I'm so grateful for all of the participation and never-ending willingness to help from the club members. You guys are just the greatest! (Insert smoochie emoji here :wink: )

Just let us know and we will adjust accordingly. You have a convertible and a clubman registered and as mentioned, they are parked boot-to-boot. Wasn't that your concern initially? I should go back and re-read what you said to be sure...

For those asking for parking/meet up locations, you should have an email with that information. If you do not, please let me know. Excited to see all of you on Sunday morning!
