From the same (forgotten!) source as my Fake Invaders CDROM, some photos of John Cooper Works garage taken at the end of July 2006, right when the place was closing down. Memories for some (including me) and sorry-I-didn’t-make-it for others …
Another from my collection, a CDROM this time, from England:
Remember Counterfeit MINIs? In England MINI did a similar campaign, but instead of disguising cars to look like MINIs, they went for trucks, and even sheds!
The CDROM contains a version of Space Invaders, vaguely themed on the UK counterfeits … I’ll assume it’s the same as the “giant size” game that was playable at the UK motor show in 2006:

Paul Mullett put up a video on MINI2, from his visit to the 2006 UK motorshow, that shows the game being played.
Tonight heading home, traffic was at a standstill on Essex causeway, while ducks crossed from the river to Woodmans parking lot.
I grabbed for my camera, but ducks walk fast! Most of the ducks had crossed, but one wasn’t sure if it was safe; the rest of the ducks disappeared behind Woodmans. Eventually the final duck crossed – and I was ready with my camera!
So why did the duck cross the road? … To join his friends, of course 🙂
