Now that Winter has passed its halfway point, the major Mini and MINI events season will begin. There is no MINI TAKES THE STATES this year, but all of the regular regional meets are back for 2015. There will be another Guinness World Record attempt for the largest number of MINIs in a single parade at MINI on the Mack. After a year hiatus, A MINI Vacation in Vegas returns with AMVIV 11.
