This year’s Mini Meet East will be in Oak Ridge, Tennessee at the end of June and beginning of July. There will be a car show, a rally, a drive-in movie, a funkana, art and model contests, an autocross, and more. Stay tuned for more details as they become available, but make plans now to attend.

The second leg of the trip was from Bristol, VA, through Abingdon, VA, because no self-respecting British car fan could pass up going to Abingdon, and […]
