Member’s Only Event | Princeton MINI Presents the Feel The Thunder! Rally | SAT 07.18.09

Let’s hop in our MINIs. Let’s explore the Jersey side. Let’s get taken out to a ballgame. Let’s feel the “thunder,” The Trenton Thunder!!

Already craving peanuts and cracker jacks? Not before we give you the details:

Princeton MINI has generously sponsored this event to allow our non-New Jersey Members the opportunity to see how things roll on their side of the Delaware River. The shore, salt water taffy, the Boss, Jersey tomatoes, and The Trenton Thunder.
The Trenton Thunder are the American Minor League Baseball affiliate of the New York Yankees. The Thunder are the two-time defending league champions based in Trenton, New Jersey.

Here’s the line-up:
The play starts in Warrington, PA. Join us for a scenic one-and-a-half hour trip around the bases as we take to the “thunder road”.

• 1st base, motor through Montgomery and Bucks county;
• 2nd base, across the Delaware River just like George Washington;
• 3rd base, down Route 29 and then slide in to Trenton, NJ where you're safe at Home.

For our New Jersey attendees who may not want to start in PA to finish up back in NJ, feel free to “pinch run” and join us en-route along the way. Approximate ETA across the Washington Crossing Bridge is 4:45-5:00pm. Or just meet us at the Ballpark at 5:15-5:30pm.
Tune your FRS radios to Channel 07 to hear us coming.

Please note: 40 tickets total have been provided by Princeton MINI for PhillyMINI Members to be reserved on a first-come first-served basis. If you jog around the bases, you may be called out at home so you better hustle.
Tickets will be distributed to attendees by PhillyMINI at the ballpark.

When: Saturday, July 18, 2009
3:15 Meet-up
3:30pm Drivers Meeting
4:00pm begin Motoring

Announcing the MINI Carfun Offset Program!

Look real close at that footprint...

Here is an opportunity for our newer MINI owners to earn their first MINI grille badge by being "Good For Somethings" and for our older MINI owners to add to their collection.

Through this program you can donate $30 to your choice of three organizations that support sustainability and renewable energies. Once you do, MINI will make a matching donation to a fun cause of your choice.

MINI will then send you a special Carfun grille badge made from recycled materials, their way of thanking you for a good deed done.

Follow this link for more details:

What a great way to keep up the spirit of PhillyMINI "going green" this year! You can aid our environment and add a little "recycled bling" to your front end!
