Hi my name is Jamie, I met some of you at the Dragon Run Event. I am the guy that works at the advertising agency for MINI. I hope you don't mind me posting a question. But we are working really hard to come up with some more fun ads for MINI. And I'm hoping you could all help out by telling us what words you use to describe how the MINI handles. Basically if someone asks you, 'what is it like driving in a MINI' what do you tell them? Just a couple words or phrases. Thanks.

Jamie,
Aloha from Hawaii and welcome to NAM.
One word?

Cool
Bliss
Wicked
Wonderful

Few words?
Simple pleasure
Riding on rails
Point and shoot
Thrill ride without having to pay admission (to Disneyland)
Scary fast (my MCS is modded up)

Actually, Crackle and Pop are great for describing MINI windshields

slot-car
there's that Accura commercial where they're trying to make the freeway look like a race course. and, in Toronto I saw a Tag Heuer commercial where Tiger Woods hits a golf ball around the Monte Carlo circuit racing on of the McLaren's. So, apparently race car tracks are timely. With that in mind, I'd love to see 2 Minis racing each other on a full size slot car track. Lots of twists and turns. Going from an urban environment to suburban to hills and canyons. whatdoyouthink?


velcro

how's about "loadsoffunjustdonotmodifymebeforethirtysixmo nths"? hmm, different department. bet he's not looking for that.
