Today was a VERY VERY VERY cold day!
I went “ice racing” in New Hampshire, organized by the local BMW Car Club of America on a frozen lake, with zero shelter from the icy winds in temperatures between 7f and 14f … I was only saved from certain death (or frostbite at least) by Diane, who loaned me a woolly hat.
I stumbled into “Wikipedia” today, a “free online encyclopedia”. Did a quick test to find information about the Mini and came up with this Mini – Wikipedia link which even links to MINI2, so it looks like a good resource 🙂
Thanks to sundancekc on NorthAmericanMotoring, I just read that “MINI” has been voted #3 global brand of the year, by brandchannel.com
Third place finisher automaker MINI is a surprise new entrant into the top five, revving up from last year’s eleventh place finish and knocking third place holder Coca-Cola into fourth. The nostalgia factor coupled with modern day capability and comfort helps MINI in traditional markets such as Europe; in new markets like North America, the little car delights consumers with an alternative to the trend toward parking lot size vehicles currently crowding the roads.
