A bit of a rare picture, this … my Q5 normally gets reversed in to the parking at work, but today I parked nose first; and Josh often drives his new red BMW 1 series, but today he brought the MINI!
Black backs
Coins
A couple months ago, I read about a special 50th anniversary Mini coin made available free by UK’s Royal Mint; it had to be shipped to an English address, but that’s no problem for me (thanks, Dad!) … my Dad sent on the coin and it arrived recently, a nice addition to my ever growing MINI collection:
While visiting the Royal Mint website, I found (surprise!) that they also offered a £5 coin, in a nice presentation, at not too expensive a mark-up, so I ordered one of them as well (this can be shipped straight to USA, happily, so I’ve had it a while):
Dinner with SunshineMINIs
It happened that tonight, Sunshine MINIs have their monthly dinner / get-together at the George & Dragon pub/restaurant – a chance to meet some MINI folks, before flying back home tomorrow …
As it turned out, only four people attended, but nevertheless it was nice company, nice food, and nice atmosphere (till the Karaoke started, at least!)
