What we're about
Carlisle MINI Motoring Club was formed in Carlisle Pennsylvania by Santiago Gabela and his wife Lois in 2006. Their first attempt to set up the club and develop an active membership was a slow process. Over the years our little (MINI) club has grown. We now have more than 450 members. One imperative is a love of MINIs. What is a Carlisle MINI Motoring Club member? Whatever YOU want it to be! Our passion for our MINIs is the singular common ground that we all share, aside from that we are all individuals with many other varied interests. We are a loose knit bunch of MINIacs and that's the way we like it! Join us at one of our events...some large...some small, but all with a focus on MINIs and having fun. Now MOTOR ON!

Sponsoed by CNY Mini. So far they have only six cars. It's 4-5 hours away so it would probably be a Sat-Sun overnight.

Join us for some great twists and turns, fabulous scenery, and local history as we tour the beautiful fields and orchards of Adams County and then the Gettysburg Battlefield. We will meet around 9:00 AM at a traditional spot, the Sheetz on Rte 15 in Dillsburg and head south around 9:30. Our first stop will be Hollabaugh Bros Orchards farm store where their apple harvest will be in full swing. After all the boots are loaded with apples, we’ll head further south to the county seat, Gettysburg, for a tasty lunch at Fourscore Brewery. We’ll then head out for an auto tour of the battlefield and end the day with another Carlisle Mini tradition, ice cream, with a stop at Half Pint Creamery.

Are you ready for an EPIC Mini road trip? Start planning now for a week long Carlisle Mini extravaganza.
On Tuesday, August 1, 2023 the adventure starts, meeting in Carlisle and then cruising the roads less traveled to exciting Cleveland, Ohio. Why, you might think? So Wednesday we can tour the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for a few hours before driving to Detroit, Michigan later that day. We will spend all day Thursday at the Henry Ford Museum, well, as much as we can see in one day! Friday will be a scenic drive through the Michigan countryside to Mackinaw City/St Ignace to check in for Mini on the Mack 2023. Saturday is the big event and the associated festivities.
Several options from here - an easy two day drive back home to PA on the interstate (750 miles, +/- 12 hrs), a longer two day drive avoiding highways (780 miles, +/- 17 hrs) or an easy three day drive on the Trans Canada Highway and upstate NY (950 miles, +/- 19 hours), rules at this time, you must have a passport and be fully vaccinated.
