The way I figure (and try to justify in my mind - hehehehe) is I spent on ONE item - what I WOULD have spent on all those Hot Wheels, etc. that I HAVEN'T been able to find........sounds good to me...

Hello??? Everybody okay?? It's been quiet in here...

Thought I would share a gift that a friend from the UK gave us along with a few other goodies. If you frequent MINI2, he is known as Shamster. We had the pleasure of spending a evening with him while he was here on vacation with his family. Has anybody ever seen these before? Pretty cool - playing cards...a game called Snap

I have this set of cards thanks to Cathy.

I'll have to post a photo of my LET'S MINI souvenirs and my MINI UNITED welcome package when I get it.

The November 14th issue of AutoWeek has a Motoring Citations Ad!


On a side note, I believe Donna (or maybe /Mike) outbid me on some very cool MINI post cards from Mexico. Now I am debating whether I want to bid more than $15 on them!! I bought 3 MINI post cards from Thailand that are similar to these and they are pretty cool - I was hoping to add these to my collection, but maybe not at that price

I only though that it was you because I looked at the last thing you got feedback for and it was the $145 Magic 8 Ball! :smile:

I always wonder if I am outbidding my fellow NAM members (especially when bidding gets high - we are a dedicated bunch!)
