Familiar mates and new faces joined together for dinner and delicious custard. I had the flavor of the day, Malted Brownie, which was creamy, chunky and marvelous all around. Conversation turned to next year&#8217;s &#8220;MINI Takes the States&#8221; event and memories of the last event. With any MINI meet, owners can&#8217;t get enough and take to inspecting the little nuances that make each MINI unique. The low evening light mixed with neon glow produced some interesting lighting effects for the photo gallery.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-11561 .fg-image { width: 150px;
