Now and then something quite unusual appears on my eBay MINI Collectibles watchlist, the 8-Ball is one such item (I’ve seen a few of them, and got one) – and recently there was this Achievements In Motoring ViewMaster; I suppose the ViewMaster itself is normal (except for the added on logo), but the image disc is surely unusual, featuring MINIs in unusual locations across America … to my surprise, scanning it was successful:
I was surprised to be able to take an image through the ViewMaster: “… or to Coltsville, Massachusetts, where there’s a shipwreck in a parking lot …” – since this is in my home state, I really should go and visit (oh, but Google says it’s gone from MA)
Other images:
The world’s largest fire hydrant in Beaumont, TX
The world’s largest covered wagon in Milford, NE
A drive-through donut in La Puente, CA
The world’s largest kaleidoscope in Mt Tremper, NY
Places to visit during MTTS’10?! 😉
Hum…. La Puente? May have to trek down there and see.
8 Ball, View Master? Is this stuff offered at MINI.COM?
No … internal giveaways from MINI USA to “best” sales associates, etc – occasionally appear on eBay.
Been trying to find one of those 8-balls, still no luck.
Now thats really cool!
