We have!

A little yellow one with a pull back spring motor. Took it from its home on our fireplace beside its larger scale DS/B and LY/B MCs (with hand painted stripes) big brothers (or maybe sisters).

Anybody else feeling MINIXmas possessed?

Who hasn't? Made little hotwheels ornaments out of a bunch of little red Coopers. Hot glued some string onto the bottom, and voila. Adds a nice little touch. And to all a good night.
Cheers,

I've been doing this for a living for twenty+ years, is there something in particular you're looking for?

I didn't have an ornament to hang, but my wife has such a large tree, I just drove my MINI into the Den and hung it from the tree. Only problem is the BRG color blends in with the green of the tree, so it doesn't stand out like it deserves to.
