I just finished putting together a video of my family taking delivery of our new 2006 Cooper S. Nothing special, just wanted to share our little moment in life.

Nice work on the web site. Lime Rock is a great track, always enjoy going down there and the video was sweet.

 

Justin, thanks for the kudos, I had fun making "A Driving Adventure", finally I'm starting to use my G5 for what it is good at...

Thanks really go to onasled for the Lime Rock Park video - hands down the best. I drove LRP in 1996 in my old '83 Audi ur-quattro turbo coupe and had a bugger 911 Carrera on my tail most of the time. I've done a time trial (pre DE days) at Laguna Seca in '87 in a Porsche Carrera 3.0 and can imagine how fast Greg is going at LRP - amazing!

Great another Vermonter! That's great. When I signed up for my MMC #320, an old local friend of mine reappeared with MMC #321 !!! Can't believe it. To see that your MMC #324 is even better. What were the odds three Vermonters coming together on NAM and sign up for MMCs just about all at the same time.

 

I like the adventure video, I started to take for granted driving such a winderful car, the video reminded me of that mystery I felt when I first took delivery and that I'm going to bring back today, very inspiring and warming, thank and nice video work!

 

Great Video Thompson...awesome MINI you have there

GREAT VIDEO MAN... I know this sounds corney but since your car looks almost exactly like mine I was almost taken to tears... Great vid again man, picking ours up was a truly special experience for all of us I'm sure...

I'm glad the video made you feel good! Thank you. I certainly had fun making it and thought that capturing this moment in time was important for me. This is my second NEW car I've ever bought since 1980. Looking back on this 5 or 10 years from now will be kewl.

I really wanted my 9 yr old daughter to film Dad (from the support Audi S6) driving the Cooper S on the highway, that's always a great photographic view. She didn't want anything to do with Dad's creative idea and wanted to ride in the MINI on the drive home. I can't argue with that!

I also forgot to snap off the oblitory odometer reading of 11 miles as delivered new - drats. I did snap off a shot last week at 399 miles.

 

You picked up your MINI on my birthday!

Now we officially know its awesome

 

Great video! Perfect soundtrack. The MINI is beautiful!
Best of luck and have fun!
