How about a picture of your Mini on your favorite back road. This was taken on Mines road at about mile ten south of Livermore, California.

Nice pic!

What did you do, take it there on a flatbed and roll it off for the picture??

Not a speck of road and even the tires don't look dusty!!

MINISteve

 

I had just washed it. I was only 20 miles from home. It looked pretty dusty by the end of the day.

 

Having fun!

 

Great pictures! There's even trash stuck to your front bumper!

There's a road I drive a lot that I just refer to as 'the rally road.'

It's got that rough, old route 66 textured surface and looks and drives like a videogame!

 

Here are three of us, I'm on the right, on opening week-end of McKenzie Pass in Central Oregon.

 

MiniDrew, that's a sweet pic!!

 

Oh I've been in that parking lot. I have a friend that use to work in Redmond.

 

Death Valley, CA Highway 190 down in the Panamint Valley taken in Jan. of 2005. Flat down here in the bottom of the valley but great twisties on either side of the Panamint Valley.

 

Does the dirtpath in my back yard count? That's a "back road" :P

 

Hwy 1 just south of Monterey, CA. I was on my way to the MotoGP race at Laguna Reca Raceway. I had more fun on the drive than at the race.

 

On the prairies with Max, heading to Dogpound, Alberta. Not real crowded out my way!!



I'm sure Lot15 has some real prairie back road photos...miles and miles of straightline Manitoba dirt!! :smile:

 

I'm general to busy to take pics on the back roads
But here's a pic of a road I love sliding through in the winter

Like YYC, not very crowded in these parts


The yellow line reflecting on the side of POCO does that just up ahead,both ways,a number of times, and the limit is 60mph

 

Don't you hate it when they close those cool backroads?
This is one of my favorites (we have so many here in SoCal), Glendora Mountain Road in the San Gabriel Mountains.



Unfortunately it's shut down so many months out of every year.

 

Flagstaff Mountain just west of Boulder Colorado. This section is right up by the Walker Ranch trailhead.

 

Great thread!! Great pics!!
I'm throwing the digicam in the MINI when I get home!
By far one of the coolest threads yet!!

 

 

SB, what a great photo! Sky is awesome and the little LY flowers are perfect. A little cropping on the right would top things off, but the very cheery LY/W is an awesome counterpoint to the dark, cloudy mood of the shot. Nice job!!

 

thanks i actually planned on photoshopping them... just haven't done it yet. I took them in kind of a hurry, as i snapped my last photo, the rain caught up to me.

Funny thing is, that WAS my last photo before the ran hit :P More here. Not a professional by any means... but i do love taking pictures. My first job was Photographers assistant/Web design... at 15

All these backroad pictures look great! Good idea to see some minis with pretty scenery behind them... and showing what they do best... tackling those curves!

 

McDowell Mountain near Phoenix

 

mini's playing peek-a-boo!

 

Here is MC03 JoeGreen resting in White Sands National Monument NM. The 'road' in this case is packed sand maintained by a roadgrader and a snow plow.

We were on our way to CA from IL via Tucson. The trip back was just as much fun in that we spent part of a day on US-50, the loneliest road in America.

 

Uh . . . where's the pic?

 

Sorry I thought photo was attached when I hit send ... the first try was too big and I didn't notice the error message ...

 

Thanks.
That's a tough pic to snap, all that white sand and a Pure Silver.
Good job. Those clouds look amazing!
