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 🙂
Near the British Invasion field in Stowe, VT is Smugglers Notch; a twisty road winds up into hills and gets very narrow through some huge boulders … back in 2002 I drove there in my first MINI and took a picture of the car in front of a rock which made it look like a toy!
Finally this year I remembered to repeat the picture, this time with GPMINI:
Here’s the original picture I took, back in 2002:

Unfortunately on my way home from British Invasion, I had an encounter with another rock, not so big but big enough to do this to the windshield:
A “tradition” of British Invasion is that after the prize announcements for MINIs on Saturday, some MINIs head off, following Jason for a drive around the back roads of northern Vermont … this year was no exception, but we were back to only three MINIs (which is fine, we still have fun!):
Thanks once again Jason, and Ricardo, for a fun evening!
