Awards

On July 6th 2003 Miła won 1st place in the Foreign Car class in the Tri-Five car show. The Tri-Five is one of the largest car shows in Western NY with over 700 cars.

In this competition the owners of the cars that were in the classes most similar to yours judged the cars. Each participant could vote on just one car that they thought was the best in each class.

Tri-Five 7-6-03

I forget the year but that is an Indy Pace car Corvette next to her!

Look how proud we both are!

Mila even has a song written about her. Thanks to Sandy Pond of MCoWNY for the song!!

It happened on the strip where the road is wide
Two cool MINIS standin' side by side
Yeah, my super charged engine is a 1-6-3
Revvin' up our engines and it sounds real mean

Tach it up, tach it up,
Miła gonna shut you down

Declinin' numbers at an even rate
At the count of one we both accelerate
Then an old dude in a Mustang gets in the show
Gotta be cool now, power shift here we go

Shut it off, shut it off Miła gonna shut you down

Andy in his MINI's really on the scene
In and out of traffic, they are driving mean
Glad the MINIs wide based, just get on the clutch
But Sandy's getting chicken, that Mustangs too much

Off they go down Transit at an evil pace
I didn't realize we would really race
The MINIs "Go cart handling" is a must
I'm left behind in a cloud of dust.

Shut it off, shut it off Miła gonna shut you down!

On July 27th Miła won first place in the British Open class at the Buffalo Jaguar Club car show at Akron Falls Park.

In this competition 7 or 8 judges viewed each car and gave points for various parts of the car. Paint, interior and display were just some of the things you were graded on. Once the judging was finished they added up the scores and you had a final score. The participants only got to judge the best of show awards.

This was a open hood and open trunk show only. No hiding a dirty engine or cleaning supplies in the back.

It is really hard to photograph etched glass in low light!

That is a 1970 Jaguar E-Type next to her.
