Let's see those interesting backdrops!!!

I've only had my R53 for a few weeks now and haven't had a chance to explore much in it, but I'm sure some of you have!

I wanna see your MINI in front of something special, be it a interesting location on your travels or just a unique background in a picture of your MINI. Maybe it will give me the kick to just explore a bit.

Oh wow, that brings up a good question, how are these cars in the snow? Mine will likely never see the white stuff and even if it does I have my 4x4 truck to get around.

That's an 1840s stone wall along a farm near the Potomac River.

Welcome to the MINI obsession. We hope to see many pictures of motoring memories from you.
I am so, so jealous. My wife and flew to San Francisco in February and drove the PCH down to San Diego (often taking residential or smaller roads to stay as close to the coast as we could). We didn't have a MINI though, instead having to make the drive in a rented Nissan Cube. Good visibility, but drives like a cardboard box.

My wife and I went out for a ride in SWVA today and rode across the "Back of the Dragon in Tazwell and Smyth Counties. It was a really cool ride and the Mini doesn't miss a beat when it comes to throwing them into curves that's for sure!!

What were you doing all the way down here? I'm not far.

And forgive me, isn't that NorthEAST Georgia or is there more than one I don't know about?

I'm not sure what Georgian regions are called. It's up near the borders of North Carolina and South Carolina. Looking at the state, it didn't seem like Georgia really has a northeast.

We were in Atlanta for a wedding, but are taking more scenic routes home.
