An American MINI in Holland
For those of you that didn’t hear, Southern California resident Robert Apon really wanted to attended MINI United 2007, but in his MINI. Countless hours and a lot of money later, Robert had the only MINI at Zandvoort with California plates!
Robert is currently working his way across Europe, visiting family and friends. Naturally, he is blogging his adventure.

MINI United 2007 - Recap
Wow! What a week! My first time out of the US and I can say that I wasn’t disappointed. Before I even get started, a quick and HUGE thank you to everyone that made this trip possible, made it easy and made MINI United 2007 such a great event!

He is finishing up his thesis at University and has developed a poll. Some of you have seen it over at Motoringfile a few weeks ago, and some of you took it. Those of you that, thanks!
