New Mini Owner - Unique Pictures to Share

Hello all I'm Smitty and I just bought a 2012 MCS! It's Spice Orange as you can see and has some fun options:
-Sports Package
-Cold Weather Package
-Moonroof
-Harmon/Kardon Stereo
-Fog Lights
-Sports Suspension
-Automatic Trans

I work at a crash test facility and proving grounds and thought I'd take some pictures there one Saturday afternoon when I had to go in to do some work. Hope you like

Oh yes!

FYI we are building a new crash facility on our proving grounds and I will be conducting a 360° panoramic tour of the building. Should be done before June.

Thanks for the welcome and kind words everyone. Hope to have a lot more fun pictures to share before I move to our sister facility out in Washington DC. Unfortunately there is no crash facility or proving grounds there, but we do have an accelerator sled and ballistics testing facility!
