Who’s that under the mouse?

While visiting Steve in Cape Cod this last weekend, he was showing all the Welcome Kit goodies that MINI USA now send out – including a very nice mouse mat with MINI pictures all over it. As soon as I looked at it, I said “Oh, there’s GPMINI!”:


The GPMINI pic I recognized immediately was third row down, six from left – this is GPMINI (and me) leaving Sandia MINI on the way to Sandia Crest. I have this same photo, purchased from MTTSphotos (pictures no longer for sale, apparently).

It’s possible some other pictures include GPMINI too – for example the last on the right of the third row down is taken at Palo Dura Canyon – the photo was taken from on top of a truck, and shows GPMINI, and the spoiler of Georges GP.

In fact, I suspect all the pictures are from MINI Takes The States … and MANY THANKS to Steve, who donated his mouse mat to me 😀

MTTSphotos

MTTSphotos (Newscast) was the official photographers of MINI Takes The States and they took some great pictures!
I ordered a pile of (mostly) GPMINI related pics – here’s some of them:

If you drove all or part of MTTS you might be included in some of the many pictures they took – head over to MTTSphotos and have a look!

Many thanks to Dave Newman – he writes:
We met at the Memphis stop of MTTS and we were just ahead of you in Clarksville when we stopped at a parts store to pick up some bulbs for Joel Sandler’s foglights. I snapped this pic of what appears to be your GP. I can’t make out the plate for sure, but it looks like yours. Enjoy!

I absolutely LOVE this picture … And it is GPMINI – you can see the Westin Las Vegas duck that George “borrowed” and gave to me 🙂
