[although actually, I was already here!]

Received my second “Welcome To The Neighborhood Kit” from MINI USA today; still not sure how this works with MINI – I know when GBMINI#3 was ordered it was too close to production to sign up for the “waiting is fun” program, but presumably this Welcome Kit has been shipped in response to GBMINI#3 (just 5000 miles late!)
The contents were mostly the same as I have seen before, with a MINI journal, “bingo” cards, unauthorized manual, etc – but a couple of not-before-seen things, including a small black wallet full of MINI cards – I have seen the cards before, but not the wallet:

So I guess now I belong to the MINI community 😉

Had a report from Al on Cape Cod that he can’t see any of the pics in recent posts (just “red X” boxes) … I am assuming this is an isolated issue with his setup, because I see everything fine at work & home.

But just to check – is anyone else having issues seeing the posts / pics here?

Each Wednesday through the summer, there is a car show behind the Liberty Tree Mall – exhibitors donate an entry fee to benefit D.A.R.E.
Mostly classic American cars attend, other cars too – here’s some pictures:

I asked about MINIs and they are “sort of allowed” – especially if we brought a convertible. Maybe a destination for a “MINI gathering”?
