Embroidered GBMINI

Robyn (The Bag Lady) recently expanded her embroidery designs to include MINIs; for a long time she has been making tire bags and other MINI storage items, embroidered to your specification but more recently, she has expanded into custom MINI designs including Tshirts; I decided to send a sweater down to her to have GBMINI#3 embroidered on it. However since both the car and the sweater are predominantly red, Robyn proposed to put a flag “behind” the car to make it stand out:

Excellent attention to detail in the design, and another way to recognize me at MINI meets 🙂

Happy Anniversary GBMINI

A year ago today, I first drove GBMINI#3; one year on I get a nice anniversary message from MINI Peabody:
Dear Mini:

Dug out – twice

Posted on February 13, 2006February 7, 2017 by Ian C.

Yesterday afternoon Margaret & I spent about half an hour digging out – clearing the paths, removing all the snow from between the cars, and shovelling out all the “plow truck spillover” that blocked & filled the street in front of our driveway.
This morning, I had to do it all over again! Continuing wind yesterday filled in the paths and cars, and more truck plowing re-buried our driveway. Oh well, at least I didn’t run around with a snow blower waking the neighbours at 5:30am, like one of my neighbours did 😦

Anyway, GBMINI got out and made it to work with minimal issues this morning. Quite a lot of DSC flashing on my street, but the highways were perfectly clear – and we are trying out a new design of MINI fuel cap:

Overall, our snow impact yesterday was minimal (unlike some parts of the East Coast) – hope no-one else suffered too much …
