Bessie’s lucky day turned out to be June 20th at the British Car Field Day show in Sussex, Wisconsin. Not only did her number come up for a door prize, she also won second place in the new MINI class! Amazing! The door prize is head light stone guards for the classic BRG Mini, who was also in attendance. Both Bessie and the Classic BRG went through intensive beauty treatments for the show. Check out the Classic BRG’s new mirrors! The usual favorites showed up and quite a few uncommon beauties. View photos…

Our British Racing Green Mini went to her first car show! The Kiltie Cruise Night at our local drive-in restaurant in Oconomowoc was filled with great classic cars, hot rods and trucks. She may have been the smallest car there, but she still got some big looks. View photos…

Bessie coasted in for some fun at the Port Washington Fish day. At the world’s largest one-day fish fry, Bessie floated down main street in her patriotic parade gear and sailed off with a third-place trophy in the car show. Before you start cheering, she was only one of three MINIs in her class. The trophy is topped with a Torino, for those wondering. The event was set against the lovely Lake Michigan. The fish and chips were good, but I like my chips crispier. Luckily, the rain stayed away almost the entire day! Amazing! View photos…
