New BRG caught slumming around Denver

I posted these pics in the 1st Gear forum too (sorry if that's breaking a rule), but I thought I'd share my enthusiasm here as well.

The long wait is over! I was motoring in the backroads Saturday, but my camera batteries died. Due to time constraints on Sunday, I was limited to city driving only --- but at least I had batteries!

Interior:



Toggle Switches:




Anthracite headliner:




Gas Cap/ piehole




How my MINI pays for booze & fun:




Fill 'er up!





Visiting the pen to see the old man :




Dad's prison tattoo:




Like father, like son??!!




2 Hellraisers:




Opening arms for JR Cash:




Cheers!:




Making a booty call to the old lady after a pint or three:




Ummmmmmm:

Great pictures! Loved seeing the Crosley saloon. Classic Motorsports would like that one for their 'Ran when parked' section.

Slumming around Denver

Nice Mini, nice pics! Are those maps on the passenger seat? I thought one did not use maps when you drive a Mini?

I pick my Cooper up on Thursday from Schomp. Maybe our paths will cross in Denver. Good wishes with your Mini!

I hope both of you (Celtic Frost & Jakemini) have/will join the MINI club here in town (www.mini5280.org). Great people and great events!
I'm sure I'll see you around town for sure. Nice photos of some familiar places.
BTW BRG was my next fav after CR.

Cheers.

Hey, give me a break -- I'm new to Denver and get lost easily . Plus, It's not a map, it's an atlas .

Let us know how things turn out on Thursday.

Thanks MiniMaybee. I've checked-out the 5280 numerous times, but don't see any events happening in the near term future --- hopefully after the holidays as I'm looking forward to exploring some back mountain roads w/ 5280. I can't wait for MINIs in the Mountains.
