OctoberFast 2008

Another great day provided by MINI of Peabody – though it looked not so great to start, with overnight rain! But it stopped by about 9am, leaving a usefully wet parking lot for the auto-cross!
As the day continued, the clouds melted away and the sun came out strong, giving us mid 60s (warm enough to drop the top!) – and lots of friendly MINI owners chatting, and having fun on the auto-cross course (which they set up for the whole day).
I spent the day chatting with friends, and taking pictures …

 

A great day, made even better by the surprising weather – thanks to everyone at MINI of Peabody for putting it all together again 🙂

Another set of toggle switch labels

Long ago, in the days of the first new MINI, there was a toggle switch re-labelling kit produced by MINI USA and collected by a few lucky MINI owners (it was sometimes found in the Welcome Kit shipped to some owners).

Then in 2006, MINI Pirate produced a new set of toggle switch labels and now, Aesthetic Creations has produced a set:

These are nice quality peel-off stickers, and with their nod to The HitchHikers Guide To The Galaxy, I had to have a couple of sets for my collection 😉
