It's up! It's up!


My Motor Trend Article is online! Yaaaaaay!

In case you missed my first posts (slackers) I'm writing an article for Motor trend about "Mini takes the States" ...it can be found here
I am hopping on the road for the next two weeks and will be updating the article/journal with pictures and nifty stuff as much as possible. I got front page (yay), please help me keep it that way and spread the word! (insert obligatory guilt trip, if you love me you will tell everyone including that kid Bobby down the street)
Thanks for the support!

Okay Emis, Bobby's been updated but says there aren't enough pictures of you.
I told him to check out this one.

Wow, SG. Great to see that you are doing this for Motor Trend. The journal is awesome! Too bad I just discovered this thread or I would have made a better effort to make it down to the "W" last Saturday to meet you.

subtleties like this are lost on guys like me. It's a Mini, the old one is a Mini. Just look at the bodies to tell them apart.

I guess my age is showing....

Well if you weren't already a celeb SG, you certainly are now, as 1000s of Mustang/Dodge/etc owners stumble upon the MTTS coverage on MT Online. Time to update the CV!

Congrats...

Thanks everyone. I've been super busy since I got back so it's been hard to post but I'm very happy to hear all the responses.

and yes Maxx I do know about MINI vs Mini...I must have slipped up somewhere down the line. feel free to kick me in the leg next time you see me...but not hard. I'm sensative :P

BTW Emily, one of the "sweetest" bits in the MTTS videos they've posted so far was you and ?Tuls? "dancing" in sync in the MINI

Thanks for looking Drill

GB-I know, it makes me giggle. Someone sent us the link, Tuls & I almost fell over laughing when we saw it. We had a lot f fun when they put the little camera on our dashboard...I wonder if there will be a much bigger/longer video at some point. They did a really good job

Go to www.minitakesthestates.com
Click on "video highlights" then on "St.Louis to Jersey City".

(and you need Quicktime installed)
