A nice Sunday drive

Posted on by Ian C.

I’m hesitant to call this Apple Picking Sundae as Sheena calls it, since I picked no Apples and didn’t have a Sundae (though Cold Stone Creamery is pretty close) … anyway, it was a spectacular weather day for a beautiful drive around Massachusetts, with ten MINIs and a convertible Mercedes as well as me in my Q5!
As always, Sheena’s drive takes us along great curvy roads (which I’m happy to say my Audi performed reasonably well compared with the MINIs I was following, and better than the Mercedes behind), with hints of Fall foliage colors in addition to the colors of the MINIs 🙂

I took lots of pictures, of course!


(Previous years drives: 2006 (Rain), 2007 (Great weather), 2008 (Cool) – I missed 2009 …

My Geek Odyssey

During MINI Takes The States 2010 there were some fabulous themed comic strips created over at My Geek Odyssey, featured by MINI Takes The States … After the event the original artworks were given to Ryans MINI Adventure and auctioned to raise money for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. I bid for a few of the artworks and was lucky enough to get this one:

A very nice collectible – and a good cause too!

UPDATE: The artist, Bruce, very kindly sent me a high resolution version of the complete colored comic published by MINI Takes The States – thanks!
