I guess polls get bumped to the top of the "new posts" list every time someone votes?

As of 11:40 MST 11/27 I see 199 people viewed, but only 44 votes. I wish more would vote! I think it's bumped only when someone leaves a comment.

I think it's bumped whenever someone votes. This thread just showed up in my "new posts" list, with a "last post" time of 4:38pm today, even though the last comment in the thread prior to this reply I'm typing was from early yesterday morning.

What I really like about Number 4 is it's creative use of line and how its form follows function. After all, line and form are elements of art.

The hills in the background give some balance to the MINI's curves, as do the road lines.

In my opinion, #4 really portrays the MINI's "Motoring Spirit."

I rode shotgun in a Miata on Laguna Seca several years ago, so I know MINIs aren't the only ones that exhibit "spirit" on that track!

#4 shows very clearly where I'd rather be driving!

Yea Speednut, it's in the Chick Car section, not the '57 Chevy catalog.

That is off of I-17 north of Phoenix, exit Bumblebee, road to Crown King. Only the beginning mile + is paved, the rest is dirt, perfect for the new Pacman (or whatever the MINI SUV is called). Sorry, don't know how to show a map here, but it's on my Flickr picture.
