Special Note: all photos must have a diecast model of a MINI and/or Mini in them.

... for some reason I thought the "and/or" meant that it had to have a MINI and/or a Diecast model. I missed the MINI/Mini distinction

I did take a pic with a Diecast Mini in front on the truck, but the angle was such that it wasn't apparent that the MINI wheel was actually ON the dump truck

As it's my first entry I've no problem with it being DQ'ed due to Operator Headspace and Timing if y'all want

Aren't the S-lite wheels diecast?

I loved your idea, but it shoulda been a Hummer.

Dude, I SOOO tried to find a Hummer

I had the dump truck already but I went to the store specifically to find a Hummer. I wanted to drop the wheel down and crush it a bit, but couldn't find a realistic looking one that wasn't either too big or too $$$

I wish I could vote for:
2, 3, 4, 8, 10 (strikes really close to home!), 12, & 15

I chose one, but I'm not telling.
Wow! I tried some shots, and hated all mine and didn't enter any of them.
Now I'm glad I didn't!
This is the best month yet.

When I read "die cast", I was expecting two dozen photos of the same little car. But all of these showing amazing imagination and hard work. Congrats to all. I can't get the butt image out of my mind now. --doug

Wow thanks!

Meanwhile...Check out the tight competition between 12 and 16. Personally I would pick 16, but I believe I would choose 12 if he would have used the pic he showed off in the topic forum(can't remember his name).

My problem is that there are far too many I want to vote for. I've never seen such a great group of pictures for the contest.
