Once again, Bessie was across the country when British Car Field Day dawned in sunny Sussex, Wisconsin. However, her garage counterpart, the BRG Classic Mini (that shall remain nameless for now), was there to represent the Pilgrim family. The BRG Mini is finally legal to drive and is sporting fancy new Maine license plates.

I’m checking into the existence of more photos of BCFD. Meanwhile, I’m busily preparing our photos of Bessie’s adventures in South Dakota.

A record number of Minis showed up for our latest Ice Cream Social at the Sonic Drive-in of West Milwaukee. Anthony tagged along with me since his MINI had a slight argument with a stationary object. This was my first time at Sonic. The food was pretty good and the atmosphere fun both delivered by roller skating waitresses. View Photos…

Our trip to London seems like years ago! While we were there, we stopped for gelato with Itty Bitty Bessie the MINI. Regular ice cream appears to be a rarity over there, at least in dedicated shop form.

Marine Ices was our first sampling. The strawberry cream gelato was delicious and wonderfully presented. Next, we visited Ciao Gelateria and enjoyed a break from the rain and hustle of the city. The caramel gelato was a simple treat amongst some strange, but wonderful menu choices.
