Maybe others have seen these but I never had. I thought they were both cute. Made me wish my mini would hurry up and get here!!!

^^It's for Fernando Botero a Columbian artist known for his rubenesque style. Everything from cats to food to people get this puffed up treatment. I thought the new countryman is the Botero of Mini's - so we nicknamed our car that (for now!)

One might even say his women are zaftig.

Did you happen to capture his sculpture tour when it came through the US? They lined Constitution Ave. with his huge statues - it was one of the most marvelous and hysterical things I've seen. People in DC were freaked. Good choice for a name!

No I didn't see that - wish I had though. I really like his work. Love your car name too btw - cracked up when I saw it. Perfectly fits the countryman.
