Can a MINI beat a GTO?

No, this isn't a thread about racing. It's merely a popularity contest and I need your vote. The prize isn't the important thing. I just don't think we should let a GTO or, heaven forbid an SUV, beat our beloved MINIs.

Go here:

http://www.customervehiclegallery.co...61114176083793

Scroll down to my Pepper White MCS and cast your vote. I'm currently in second place with 21% to the GTO with 29% and a Toyota 4 Runner is lurking in third with 14%. The contest runs through the end of the month and there is a new contest every month.

Thanks for supporting your fellow MINI enthusiast.

Post early, post often!

Hey,

There's also a 2003 Velvet Red MC on the list. I recommend a 1-2 finish for MINI!

Voted for your MINI! Great-looking all-Pepper White! Woo hoo!

(I, too, think the vote may be split between the 2 MINIs, though! That Velvet Red is sweet, too!):smile:

i've cast my vote for you. Good luck for winning that prize now that you're ahead at 36%.

To be honest even if you don't win, the car is still the coolest in the pack. I just don't care for the other models in the contest.

Sorry, but can't bring myself to vote for a car with black wheels.

I'll vote for the other mini though...
