Here they are (a few of them anyway). Last page of member MINIs - pg 66. Pics #589-593. They're huge since I used my 4.3 megapixel camera. So after the first one, I cropped them a tiny bit. Enjoy!

You're probably right. But this way, the MINI is a FIVE seater!!!

Very nice pictures! Your Mini is Beeee-utiful!
And yes I agree.....little too much Lord and Taylor in that one pic. The Mini could have fit easily!

Oh - you guys don't know the half of it!!!
I cropped most of the Lord & Taylor building out of the picture! He really did get the whole building yet he couldn't get "all" of my MINI!

Livingston Mall!!! I live in Chatham, work in Livingston. Nice wheels! I was up at Morristown MINI today, to have a couple of little things fixed (hood release cable detached, rear passenger seat handle broken) They fixed it while I waited, and I just stopped in to have a tech look at them. Very happy they did it without having to wait for an appointment. My Indi Blue Cooper is #559 & 560 on Member MINI's.

Not yet! He just turned 10. But I did let him shift my previous car all the time...We made a deal for the MINI, though. He can shift on his B-Day and the first day of school. Hey - it's just too much fun shifting...I don't want to give it up!

Hey greatgro, nice car (I have the same - DS/A MCS Lapis Blue and all packages).
I live in Succasunna now but lived in Livingston and East Hanover during high school and college.

Don't know if they're still there but I used to deliver pizza for Cammaratta's using either my '67 BJ8 Healey or my '65 1275 Cooper 'S' (Cars that other delivery guys owned included a Posche 912, a couple of MGB's, a Spitfire, a GT6, a hot rodded Camaro, an Alfa and a Fiat 124 Spider)

One memory I have of Livingston Mall - this was sometime in the mid 70's - I had parked my car on the Eisenhower Parkway side and was walking across the parking lot to the stores. All of a sudden I heard the most amazing sound and around the corner comes a 275 GTS Ferrari in first gear. He makes his way across the parking lot right next to the building and when he gets to the point where he is inside the"U" that the building forms he guns it a little and the acoustics from the sound bouncing off the three walls was incredible, that's when I understood that you could want a Ferrari simply for its sound.

In case it wasn't obvious, the above wasn't written by me - it was my wife!
