I received this picture emailed to me from MINI USA – or at least from one of the PR companies they are connected with!

I know it’s just an advert for MINI Financial Services, but it’s a really cool picture – and it’s quite cool that they would send the picture to me (“Hi Ian, Here’s a photo and caption courtesy of MINI Financial Services that may spark a GBMINI blog entry. The car in the photo is making the rounds to all the MINI Takes the States Festivals this summer“)

How “convenient” they should do that! 😉
Ian, I received the same email to my blog! I think its the way viral marketing works, but your right, it is a cool picture.
