Hi Everyone!
Here’s some background information how we do what we do, driving along Mini/MINI club runs, video taping, and editing stuff afterwards. We also get a look at the Miniology project car, a 1962 Morris, owned by David Villarreal (more of this video on our website) and Califzeph’s coverage of Mini Mania’s recent open house day and the Nevada City Adventure. Formatted in 16×9 widescreen.
