Munich/Lommel. MINI enthusiasts will be meeting up
for the 38th time for their annual get-together to celebrate
themselves and their cars. This year the fans of the small British car
are heading to Belgium for the first time to celebrate the
“International Mini Meeting 2016”. The small northern town of Lommel
will be the backdrop for this year’s big event for the small car from
12th to 16th May. It is picturesquely located between windmills and
the Lommelse Sahara nature reserve.
The meeting is being organised by the “Mini Fun Club Belgium”,
the oldest of its kind in Flanders. The organiser is looking forward
to welcoming visitors from all over the world as well as honorary
guest and “Rallye Professor” Rauno Aaltonen who won the Monto Carlo
Rallye with the classic Mini in 1967.
The extensive supporting programme includes live music, party
and food tents, Mini Club presentations and entertaining child care,
thus making the event attractive for families, too. In addition there
will be a parts and accessories market and the most beautiful, the
most off-the-wall and the fastest models will also be voted on.
The camping site located close nearby creates the familiar
family setting. The many different nationalities present and the joint
enthusiasm for the British evergreen are what constitute the typical
character of the IMM. More than 130 clubs will be presenting
themselves and their lovingly cared for cars, turning this event into
a truly unique experience. The new generations of the MINI family,
which can likewise already look back on an eventful past since their
introduction in 2001, have long been taken up in the colourful
pot-pourri of the classic Minis.
