Next MINI “teaser” discovered?

Posted on May 19, 2006February 12, 2017 by Ian C.

I recently got an email from MINI friend “RB” about a screensaver he’d found at the MINI download site which had pictures of what might be the redesigned (’07) MINI … well I went there and found nothing!
RB went back, and the link he’d found was gone – was it a mistake?
Anyway, he sent me the (MAC OS) install files, and from them I found a Shockwave Flash movie file which scrolls through a few nice images including one which also has a photo of what might be the new MINI …

So what do you think? An accidental release of ’07 MINI pictures? A deliberate “teaser” (it is called that) but if so, why is it not available any more?

Last full day in the Orlando area, so we hit the last Disney park, Animal Kingdom …

In the distance, the new Mount Everest (and the roller coaster ride inside it) dominates the sky … Only Margaret braved this ride – and only once!

There are also lots of animals in Animal Kingdom (!); and a bird show:

We finished our last day near Disney at La Nouba, the fabulous Cirque Du Soleil show – but no pictures allowed there!

Florida 2006 – MGM/Disney

After Gatorland, we headed to the MGM/Disney park for a late lunch at the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater; then we enjoyed a few rides (Muppets 3D is the best!) and met Buzz Lightyear:

Finally we headed to Phantasmic, the end-of-day show with fire, water, and many evil characters all being defeated by Mickey Mouse. Some of the show is projected onto sprayed water – it looks amazing but is very hard to photograph!
