Fans of Britain’s favourite small car have a lot to look forward to at this year’s Mini in the Park, which takes place at Santa Pod, Beds, on Sunday August 13th.
As well as live action, including the Adrenaline Tour live action stunt show, live demonstrations from the famous ‘Turbonator’ Jet Mini and a Mini-only ‘Run what Ya Brung’ on Santa Pod’s famous drag strip, one of the highlights of this year’s show will be the MITP Pride of Ownership display, which is accessible to all Mini owners as it’s more laid back than more traditional Show & Shine and concours events.
The organisers of the event are currently looking for Mini owners to submit their star Minis for consideration in this year’s display – if it’s unusual, clean and well-presented, then it’s welcome. Simply email [email protected] for more details.
The top 40 Pride of Ownership Minis will be asked to exhibit on the day, and of those the top 20 will be invited to take part in the Pride of Ownership parade in the Live Action Arena.
As well as the displays, which will also include individual entries and some fantastic contributions from the UK’s many Mini clubs, one of the more entertaining features of the day will be the ‘Club Mini Push’, with representatives of some of the country’s more competitive clubs competing head-to-head in a battle to push a classic Mini around an obstacle course in the fastest possible time.
