Miles, Meals, and Memories

Our destination for the day was the legendary Pik N Pig, a true homestyle barbeque joint located at 194 Gilliam McConnell Rd in Carthage, N.C. This isn't just any BBQ joint; it's a destination renowned for its mouth-watering, authentic North Carolina barbecue. After a spirited drive through picturesque North Carolina landscapes, MINI drivers pulled up to the aroma of slow-cooked meats and the vibrant atmosphere of a place dedicated to deliciousness. It was the perfect reward after our journey, and the food, as expected, was absolutely phenomenal. Pik N Pig delivered an unforgettable culinary experience that perfectly complemented the thrill of the drive.

But beyond the fantastic cars and the incredible food, the heart of the BBQ Run was undoubtedly the MINI enthusiast community itself. This group of passionate individuals is truly something special. From seasoned veterans to new MINI owners, everyone shares a common bond that transcends age and background. It's a community built on shared experiences, mutual respect, and a genuine love for the MINI lifestyle. Events like the BBQ Run foster these connections, creating lasting friendships and memories that go far beyond the roads. The laughter, the shared stories, and the collective appreciation for these quirky cars made the day truly unforgettable.

As the sun set on August 23rd, we drove home full bellied and happy, already looking forward to the next adventure. The 2025 MINI BBQ Run was more than just a drive; it was a testament to the power of community, the joy of the open road, and the unwavering spirit of the MINI family.
