Requested by Ryan a while ago to post a link to this … it was not a MINI event that GBMINI or I was involved in, but it looks so cool that I wanted to feature it anyway:

… The Atlanta MINIs were in a parade Saturday in Atlanta, Georgia. They did an amazing job and truly said Happy Holidays from the MINI community …
You can find lots more pics here on the SweetDaisy site (another one to add to my links, I think!)

Stowaway!
This morning was just about warm enough to wash GBMINI (well overdue); when I opened the engine bay to top up the washer bottles, I caught a movement – a mouse ran from its nest and vanished! The nest is impressive and I guess the mouse has good taste to choose to live in GBMINI – but I wish it elsewhere. I can’t imagine it would survive there while I was driving, so I think the whole nest must have been built yesterday while we were out in Margarets car.
I hope the little guy has gone now, and not damaged anything …
