how funny, i was bored yesterday and decided to create a google earth trip for my mini (on its way)

mini cruise (.kmz). you'll need google earth to try it out. right-click and save the download as a .kmz.

oh and this will "deliver" the mini to irvine mini, but if you've got google earth you can easily change that.

Nice one, which ship are you on? My ship (Don Pasquale) is following the same route while approaching the Panama Canal.
Here is a close up view of your favorite dealer,

Well since I got too much time I also found a slightly out of date shot of South Bay Mini, where I'll pick up mine early March.

A more up to date one, while still under construction.

Judging by photo, Irvine Mini beats South Bay Mini

Actually, the cars are wrapped before their journey over the pond, that's why so many appear white.........so even our black and colored roofs are "white" at one time

Anyone noticed the name of the river that runs to the Charleston port.

Nice catch Zamirz, I'd forgotten about that!

I never seen a MINI that I didn't like, anyway.
