The Red Bull MINI is coming to visit us!

Yesterday I met the folks that drive around town in the custom Red Bull MINI and gave them my contact info so that we can arrange for them to make an appearance at one of our future events.

No details at this point, but I'm thinking that we could get them to come to a future monthly dinner.

Red Bull MINIs are cool.. there were 8 or 10 of them lined up on the street in downtown Indy during the USGP last summer. That was a sight to see!

That's pretty cool, Yucca.

Back in July I spotted one of them driving through town.

With the Saturn rocket in the background, it made me realize that the giant can of Red Bull looks like it is about to launch. . .

It looks like a mobile rocket launcher.

Yep I saw it saturday Feb 16, at UAB with the 2 girls driving it. Waved at them and they looked like they could care less about being in a Mini. I think they would rather be in a Yugo.

How funny! I had forgotten all about the Yugo! I remember it being a great punch line in it's day. Funny, I've never actually seen one on the road.....its has gone the way of the Pacer, the Gremlin and the Rabbit~

(no angry mail please, my 1st car was a Pacer)
