Motorby billboard program - anyone get an invite?
I got an email to participate in a talking MINI billboard program, called "Motorby." Apparently, they are installing "talking" billboards in 4 cities that can sense when a MINI drives by, and will display a message.

Am I the only one, or am I crazy?

Ken

OMG! I want it to tell me, "JJ, you look sexy in pink!" But it would probably say, "I see you finally gave Malibu Stacy a bath."

I got the invite, but I never drive past the billboard location (close to O'Hare airport), so I'm not sure it would do me any good to get the key fob.

You guys are lucky! Another cool marketing ploy that only the US gets...
I'd totally be flashing my lights and tapping the break lights if my personal message came up as i was driving under it. LOL!

I was lucky enough to get an invite to the NYC sign. Can't wait to get the key fob and drive by. Yet another great excuse to motor

It's times like these that it's not good to live in a state which MINI doesn't recognize.

At least give Alabama something similiar. Instead of the key fob. How about a can of spray paint and a Home Depot coupon for a ladder?

I got one, but when I couldn't log on (it's been a while, so I assumed I forgot my password and VIN lookup did not work) I deleted it.

Today I logged on to OL no problem, so I'm sorry I got rid of the invite. Doh!

Yes, MINI should be ashamed of itself for so terribly ignoring our great state.
