Took some pics by the NYC skyline last night after being in NY traffic for hours. Enjoy











The traffic was horrible but nothing like the Big City around the holidays

Ive personally seen Mr. Bean's mini at the Beaulieu Motor Museum in England. That place is like a mecca for petrol heads. But, I had no expectations of seeing the genuine Bean mini there, and that was one of the individual pieces of their collection that made the trip.

Yours is an awesome tribute!!! Keep up the good work!!! When can we expect roof-armchair steering to be fitted?

Thank you so much I'd love to take my son to see the real Bean Mini someday, he has everything Mr Bean and Like 10 toy Mr Bean Mini cars and I've had to paint a few Mini Coopers that he has Beangreen.
I'm going to have my wife who's a graphic designer do some Photoshop work with my son in a armchair doing the roof driving of my car he will love it. Thanks again, it means a lot that Mr Bean fans like it, and people who don't even know who he is love the car, it's so fun to drive and just see people smile, point, and laugh.

Took the Mr. Beanmobile in for our first oil change and to check it top to bottom. Found some issues that will have to be delt with in the coming months, but nothing out of the ordinary for an 05. Everyone was great at the Prestige Mini. I of course enjoyed checking out all the new Minis

Went on a very fun toy run from Prestige Mini to HUMC with my son to deliver presents to the Hospital where we spend a lot of time, and it is my sons birthday and he loved being around all the Minis
A good day, good people, good driving,a good cause.


A great run with 35 Minis


Mr Bean loved the curves


Nothing but Minis


Delivering our presents
A good day it was

I have no idea if he'll actually see it or not, but I sent a message to Rowan Atkinson via Twitter with a link to your website. Maybe with a little luck he'll check it out and get in touch!

Totally Awsome! Great job on Mr Bean! The MINI family is great. My wife and I loved her '08 Cabrio so much, I had to go out and get a hardtop! Sometimes we can't decide on which to take to an event so we take both. More room for the young 'ins.
