Did the movie people want to make any changes to your car for the film? Remove stuff? Add stuff?

It's not a classic focused event, so we decided it would be more fun just to drive the new MINIs and forgo the classics for this one.

Tow hitches for older cars like this can be hard to find.....the Cooper S exhaust makes it difficult to find one that fits too. I don't think I'll bother since I already have the hitch on the white Allroad

I hope there are at least a few classics there.

Wow, I'm surprised to see they're still in business....I'm not going to bother with a hitch for the red car, I already have one on my white Audi Allroad. If I need to tow a car or something I'll just use it.

MiniDoMore (https://www.mnidomore.com/home.php?cat=244) still seems to carry them, though a bit pricey.

So, minor change to my plans - still going but Don and I have decided to take our "new" MINIs to this event since it's not just classics.

Do you get to wear makeup and a wig to simulate the actor while you drive?

Doesn't everyone do that? Hmmm... maybe it's just me.

I also found the right rear muffler is toast, so I'm on the lookout for someone who may have removed a factory exhaust in favor of an aftermarket (as was common when these were new) and is tired of tripping over it in the garage that I can score for cheap.

I found a well recommended local Dr. De-Dento who said he'd come by and see what he could do about a couple of dings....this one in particular.....

I even visited an old website I hadn't been on in well decades (my sign in and password still worked!) called North American Motoring. It used to be THE place to go for MINI insite.....
