My MINI was on TV Today

On the local NBC 13 Snow coverage on TV today they said over 400 people sent them pics & they showed a few of them on TV. Mine made it. I put "MINI Cooper in the snow" in my email title cause I figured that would make my email stand out from the rest & it worked They showed my MINI & my back yard pics on TV. I am going to have to watch the news at it's regular time at 5 & 10 tonight to see if I make it again





Petey even made it on TV in the bottom of my backyard shot...

The MINI is clean under there with a week old coat of Epic topped by 2 coats of Victoria Concours Red Carnauba Wax to keep her warm

No that my MINI is famous I hope it doesn't go getting a big head

Hey, patti... I don't think TT really knows what snow is. Look... you can still see her bonnet stripes through that snow.

Where I am, if we got the kind of snow shown in your pic - they'd put out travel advisories, close roads, cancel schools, shut down all public offfices, stop the mail, encourage employees to telecommute, and bring out the non-existant snow plows.

Is so glad I went NORTH that day bamatt.
I managed to get zero rain or snow.
Speaking of Petey, how did he handle the snow, did it runn outside and roll around in it then come back in and want a bath?

Petey was scared to step in the snow but once he finally did he acted like everything was normal
