A short summary of the Banquet from “A MINI Vacation in Vegas” 2009 (a.k.a. “AMVIV”). See the full version and more AMVIV clips at WhiteRoofRadio.tv and BehindTheVroom.com.
I should be packing, but instead, I’m writing! The Behind The Vroom crew will be heading out to AMVIV, “A MINI Vacation In Vegas”, in less than twelve hours! As the premiere MINI Cooper event of the year (sorry ‘Dragon), AMVIV gets more interesting every year. In addition to 500+ MINI Coopers, over a dozen vendors, both a driving school and autocross event, the big change this year is a more official-esque car show, a big step from the Boot-and-Bonnet Show/popularity contest of years prior.
Over 500 MINI Coopers will dominate the Palace Station parking garage for AMVIV 2009
While the B-n-B will continue (I mean, who wouldn’t want to look at the sheer spectacle of 500 plus MINI Coopers, and no two alike!), this year the AMVIV “Show & Shine” show will be held at SAFE House in Henderson with its associated entry fee and prizes held to benefit the SAFE House charity. The show will be judged this year instead of completely popular vote. There will be a small, tax-deductible entry fee paid directly to SAFE House for each MINI entered into the contest. There will be no charge to come and look at the cars, and the Poker Run will end there, so come on down!
In addition to a variety of interviews with vendors, attendees, and perhaps with the elusive Mr. Cone, we’re hoping to photo-blog the entire weekend here on Behind The Vroom. That is, if the php-gods will allow it! For those heading out to AMVIV or already there, hit us up and say hello. For those who arent? Well… you’re missin’ out yo!
