Here's one of my favorite MINIs here in Texas, there are actually two of them, I saw this one at the dealership getting its oil change... maybe someone in here could figure out how to contact them and see if they can make MOTD?

You have to verify you are over 21 before you can enter the site. There is a contact form on the bottom left in light red print.

I love the sense of humor those on this thread have! I got bounced by the drink message site too! I say bring them all! How many other cars are being turned into such unique creations. What is grassroots anyway? Poor, non-commercialized people only? How did everyone find out about their Mini? There must not be any commercials or ad's out there to read or Google then?
(That's the non-OCDer method. Leaves more time to motor.

Win a Grand Marnier MINI Cooper
Hey, I just made a discovery.
If you go to the website that is barely visible on the side of the Grand Marnier MINI Cooper they have an event schedule along with the chance to win the MINI!
The website is www.bettermargarita.com
The MINI Grand Marnier will be in Dallas during the MOTD event.
EDIT: Apparently this is an OLD website for an event that has come and gone, so disregard this whole post. SORRY : (

Just caught this thread - it's a great idea, I hope it works out for all of the branded MINIs. Just imagine getting them all together for one combined photo!
Another one I've seen, although their design was much more boring (pretty much just vinyl) - Quizno's. Sorry for the crappy picture quality - it's from my 3-year-old cellphone, and taken hastily while in slow traffic.

You're right 
I was ready to take a drive down to Florida and follow this MINI where ever it went so I could collect a bunch of drawing cards.

Note on the Wienermobile...
Hathery, you have GOT to put a note under the mini-wienermobile's windshield wiper asking them to bring that to the Dragon!
Shoot--I just started a thread on the Wiener without seeing this one! Me and my Mini just got to meet the Mini Wienermobile yesterday. You can see some pics on my blog here. 
The Oscar Meyer plant is in Madison (lucky us!) so the Mini-mobile pretty much lives here.

I just received this response:
Dear Mike,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding the availability of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile to attend MINIs On The Dragon April 30-May 3, 2008 in Fontana Village, North Carolina.
Oscar Mayer receives thousands of requests a year for appearances by the world famous Wienermobile, which, unfortunately, makes it very difficult to fulfill most requests that come our way. That being said, we are sad to say that we will not be able to attend.
We thank you for the invitation and sincerely hope that your event is a success.
With Relish,
The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile Team

I really wasn't expecting anything other than the response I got(especially after all the difficulty in just finding out where to send a request), but it doesn't hurt to try.

Well that settles it, I'm not eating another Oscar Meyer product again.
From now on I'll stick with my Sabrett Hotdogs..
After all, I only started to drink the occasional Red Bull because they were nice to me and gave me free samples last time I ran into them.
Maybe what we need to do is approach these companies from a sponsorship angle.
I have been involved in seeking sponsorships for various events and you'd be surprised how quick they will jump to sponsor an event when other companies are pitted against them.

If you had told us weeks ago, then we could have saved the trouble. Seeing as you're Chief Wiener or whatever.
Yep, I got the same reply this morning. But you don't ask, you don't get. You ask this year, then maybe give them more notice next year.... who knows?
Oh, that's right... kgdblu knows...

I haven't gotten my "rejection" letter yet for my Weiner mobile request for MINI's in the Mountains that I wrote over 2 months ago.
We're having Reb Bull & Dryers Ice Cream MINI's there so far.
COME ON OUT TO COLORADO!!!!!!!! August 6-10

who'd clean that roof?
Oh, wait..I know...
Bummer... well, it's definitely a task to get started on next year. Let's see how many "specialty branded" MINIs we can get next year! (Not including companies that sell MINI-related products.
