Come to the only Mini event that takes place in the Gold Country, on thesite of an actual Gold Mine from the 1800's! In 1850 pioneers traveled thousands of miles in covered wagons to discover gold in the small mountain town of Nevada City.

On June 1st, 2013 people will travel in their MINI Coopers and Classic Minis from all over the west coast, not to find their fortune, but to attend Mini Mania’s 13th annual Nevada City Adventure! This year’s participants will find little gold, but there will be no shortage of chrome in these foothills!

We will take a tour down to an old gold mining camp, originally known as Indiana Camp, (settled by miners from Indiana in 1849), it is now known as the town of Washington. There we will stop at the Yuba River where you can try your hand at gold panning.

The six acre Mini Mania compound is set right on the old tailings of the historic Sneath & Clay gold mine just across the street (a few buildings still stand!) surrounded by majestic pines, blue skies and (hopefully) spring-like weather throughout the day.

Enjoy festive music while you relax in the shade of tall pines and enjoy the company of fellow Mini enthusiasts! (See below for local resources)

The Dyno Experience

The Dyno can yield a lot of great information and this was no exception! Dyno testing is like a ‘great dream’! Lots of us talk about them but how many people can really live them! Proving our metal is often equated to ‘dreaming’ about demonstrating how good we are by how much horsepower we have!...
