… and I’m about done with vacation now (however I don’t head home till Friday)!

On the way in to the villa we’re staying at (in “Holiday”!) we passed a MINI/BMW dealership, so with overcast skies I dropped the others at the beach and headed back there today … MINIs everywhere at Ferman MINI! The big white thing is what I’m driving at the moment:

I saw my first ever Solar Red MINIs; the picture shows it right next to Chili Red for useful comparison.
Inside the dealership was a bit disappointing – no-one came to ask if I needed help, and when I did track someone down to ask about MINI merchandise, I learned that I needed to leave the dealership and cross the lot to BMW, then go down to the depths … once there, the parts guys knew very little about MINI stuff (unlike at MINI of Peabody) and I couldn’t find anything to buy.

I did see this GP poster though – not seen one at MoP but maybe it’s new:

I recently got an email from MINI friend “RB” about a screensaver he’d found at the MINI download site which had pictures of what might be the redesigned (’07) MINI … well I went there and found nothing!
RB went back, and the link he’d found was gone – was it a mistake?
Anyway, he sent me the (MAC OS) install files, and from them I found a Shockwave Flash movie file which scrolls through a few nice images including one which also has a photo of what might be the new MINI …

So what do you think? An accidental release of ’07 MINI pictures? A deliberate “teaser” (it is called that) but if so, why is it not available any more?

Yes, MINNIEs, not MINIs …

MINNIEs, not MINIs!

I’ve seen very few MINIs down here in the DisneyWorld area – and I’m driving a huge disguised MINI van – but it’s fun and great weather down here, unlike the awful flooding back home that’s badly hit at least one MINI friend …
