Back on Memorial Day weekend we made a trip to jolly old England and the famed racetrack at Silverstone to attend the 50th Birthday celebration of the beloved MINI Cooper. Over 25,000 people from 40 countries descended on Silverstone to take part in the festivities and all kinds of MINI related fun. But this event was all about the passionate following of owners, of the original 50-year-old car as well as the modern MINI.From restored classics to crazy modified moderns - they were all there, many having been driven thousands of miles to attend. From David Bowie's all-chrome version of the original MINI to a Missoni-style modern, there was a little something for everyone's taste.
The variety of ways people had gone about customizing and personalizing their MINIS was truly a testament to their inspiration, creativity, and love for these cars.
