MotoringFile’s MINI United Video (Part 1)

Sections: MINI United | Video Jan 11th, 2008 15 Comments

I finally had a chance to throw something together that documents the first few days of my trip to MINI United last summer. This video is a look at the first three days in Germany and features the Nurburgring, the Autobahn and somebody named Sabine.

Due to Youtube, quality is a step down from the original HD source video, but I think it does a decent job in capturing the feel of those first few days.

Look for Part 2 to feature MINI United itself. In the meantime you can see photos of my day at the ‘Ring below:

Got to meet Sabine at Road America for Oktoberfast. What was Sabine driving on the ring? Love to see her take a MINI around the ring–bet she’s done it.

What was Sabine driving on the ring?

A McLaren SLR 722 as seen in the last clip. She was filming a show for German television. This is her the day before getting driven around by a Mercedes test driver…

Nice video review. Spotted myself on the Ring parking. It was nice having you there and meeting you at the Ring and MINI United. Hope to see you again at MU in 2009.

Great video! I intended to take my R56 Cooper S onto the ring after attending the Frankfurt motor show but unfortunately it was closed due to an accident and we didn’t have time to hang around.. Next time!

so does that mirror cap trick work on all r56’s, or did you just break that one?

DavidB Jan 13th, 2008 Link

Never a dull moment Gabe! Tell your video assistant that was a nice pan forward on the Autobahn. ;-)

She’ll like hearing that :-)

Very nice video and editing, Gabe.

Thanks should go to iMovie.

From what I’ve found it was only on that one R56.

It was nice having you there and meeting you at the Ring and MINI United. Hope to see you again at MU in 2009.

Same here Berthil!

wow! only just noticed this, finally I get to see the chase-view of the lap with you and Axel behind me… but 9:30? are you serious?? IÂ´ve never timed myself, but I really didnÂ´t think I was doing under ten minutes! Any chance of getting to see the whole video?

Anyway, it was nice meeting you at the ring, too bad I couldnÂ´t make it to MINI United, hope to see you again next time!
