I have to admit I drove my BJ9 (John Cooper Works Mini) to the car show. I just live in Portland, OR so I'm not staying at the Heathman. I had planned to have my '57 100-SIX MM on display at the show until the "off" I had at the Sonoma Historic Motorsports Festival earlier this month which left me with some fender and bonnet damage to repair. You'll be able to read all about that trip in a few months in the Marque Magazine.
I then thought about driving my '65 BJ8 to the car show, but when I woke up and it was raining, I went soft and drove the "tin top".
