I'm surprised you got photos of all you saw, on our trips to the UK there are just too many to count, let alone take photos of them all. I usually just take photos of the ones we hire.

Ok, well to be totally technical, "all the ones we saw" is not totally accurate, all the ones we were able to take photos of-- ones parked on the street or ones driving while we were parked. MINI manufacturers hundreds of MINIs a day, we drove 4,800 miles over 21 days, certainly we were'nt posed at the windshield with a camera. Let's be reasonable!

NURBURGRING Photos only, culled from my over 600+ shots of the whole car ride, but these are only of the ring area, waiting room, hotel, conference center, tourist center, and parking lot. Camera ON the ring are forbidden, but it wasnt too hard to take shots of the ring from OUTSIDE of it.

Reason: north sea.
Finally, The coup de grace! I DID manage to take a photo of a European MINI from the passenger's seat of my Mini. Huzzah!
In fact, double coup!! Notice there are TWO MINIS in this picture! Whee!
