"Donut Derelicts Hot Rod Show"
The largest weekly Hot Rod Cruise spot in Southern California
takes place early Saturday mornings in Huntington Beach near a local donut shop.
What once started as a handful of friends meeting each Saturday, this event now draws
hundreds of cars ranging from Cobras, Ferraris, Motorcycles and Hot Rods of all shapes and sizes.
The Mini was a HUGE hit with the crowd with mobs of people surrounding it the whole morning.

Pomona Auto Show and Swap
The Pomona Auto Show and Swap is the largest automotive swap meet
on the West Coast. Miles of swap meet vendors, hundreds of exotic cars for sale
and tons and tons of people.
The Mini was mobbed with folks all day long!

Rally Lights!
Forget those wimpy factory driving lights...GO BIG!
We installed a set of PIAA 6" driving lights for clear vision and that rally look.
Also notice the Retro Rally Hood Latches (available on our site)
Here's a photo with the light covers in place...pretty fun stuff.
We also installed a European style front plate with GOTMINI designation.
(marketing...what a concept)
