Say, 'Ah' Baby!!

A friend of mine on the Autoweek forums, Artandcolour, made this retro style ad out of one my pics. He said it was in the style of the old VW 'Lemon" ads from the 1960's. I thought it was really cool so I decided to share it here with you guys. What do you think?

Ah, the joys of owning a MINI in a state without a dealership!

"Splendor In The Grass" is the closest to the old VW ads. I'm old enough to remember those fondly.

I always loved the old VW ads, which is one of the reasons I owned a couple of 'em. Same for the new Mini ads. Did anyone ever see the billboard in Canada that said "Cops Hide Here", pointing to some arbitrary bushes? I couldn't help but laugh when I saw that one.
