The last and BIGGEST North American 3 day classic Mini adventure in the history of the world! Don't miss your last chance to enjoy the Springtime colors, Mini friends, and twisty roads with a gaggle of classic Minis before the Mayan calendar and world ends! This year we chose Cherokee, NC as the base for our 3 day driving adventure. It's located at the south entrance of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and at the beginning of the Blue Ridge Parkway. As with all of our Classic Minis United events, we like to drive, and that's what we'll be doing. We will have drives each of the three days with plenty of stops and things to see. Oh, and to experience the power of nature, we're offering optional whitewater rafting! If you haven't been to a CMU event before, we do it differently; we like to drive/cruise a lot and see all around the area we're visiting. With this being a CMU event, you must be a member to enter a Mini. Membership is free, if you own a classic Mini go to the website and become a member! As with all of our events, this is for everybody, but all of the drives/cruises/anything is only for classic Minis and its variants produced from 1959-2000, no exceptions. There's always room to ride in someone’s Mini if you come in something else. We don't leave anybody behind! So, come join the 100+ classic Minis before the world ends! Contact: Mike Guido.
