Guinness World Record

I mentioned before, one of my TOP TEN things to accomplish in my life was to be in the Guinness Book Of World Records. ( Been on my list as long as I can remember)
Anyway, I MADE IT.
Well me and 194 other participants, BUT I MADE IT.

It was pretty cool, seeing 195 MINI's downtown Vancouver. They closed off part of the City for us. We drove from Chinatown, around BC Place & GM Place etc.
Was a fun day. I have a few pics of my car from the event. I will add some of these later.
It took about a year to confirm the record, then another 6 months to issue this certificate.

Had to share with my TRF buddies.

Very cool, John. Congrats!

I'd like to get into that record book for drinking the most amount of Guinness. LOL

Hadn't seen this before, John. Glad someone resurrected it.

Congratulations.

It's nice to know someone who is in the record books. Feels like one of the family has made it big.
