MINIsOnTop “Roll-To-Motor” from New Country MINI

Here’s a very unique chance to win your own MINI Cooper (or $20,000 towards it), courtesy of the fine folks at New Country MINI
New Country MINI have arranged a special event, with the chance to win a MINI Cooper with THE ROLL OF SIX DICE:
Each $5.00 (MINImum) Rosie’s Place donation ticket allows one roll of the six Roll to Motor dice. The six-sided dice have symbols on five of their facets; one facet has a letter. If, in one roll, all six dice land and spell the word “COOPER”, you win a $20,000 allowance toward the purchase of a new 2007 MINI! And, while this allowance will easily pay for a new, custom-ordered MINI Cooper, the winner can use it toward any new MINI and pay just the difference in price.
Of course, the lucky winner is responsible for the tax, title, license and insurance costs.

Donation tickets will be available at the MINIs On Top Information Tent (you must be present to win!), and only 300 donation tickets will be sold for the first place, 2007 MINI – so you’d better be quick and get your chance before they’re all gone!

As with all the other wonderful MINIsOnTop 2007 donations (the two year lease from Herb Chambers MINI of Boston, the trip to England from MINI of Peabody, and the many other donations, all funds raised will go to Rosie’s Place.

Memories of MINI Takes The States

I received today a wonderful, signed, photograph taken by Juan Calderon during MINI Takes The States last year – framed and sold by Robert Ballard and his new TwistyBitz business:

I was tempted to leave it “installed” in the back of GPMINI – but I suspect it won’t fair well when I’m accelerating at GP speeds on twisties 🙂

(Thanks Robert, and Juan!)
