Children's drawings of MINI

Did a search for a thread on child's drawings of MINIs but came up empty. So here's Emily's impression of dad's (my) MINI Cooper S. She's 4 years old, and upon being asked what the "ears" at the front and rear of the car were, replied: "headlights and taillights." Notice the S-Lites, but I actually have Kosei.

Too cool . My kids have drawn many MINI pictures over the last few years, but I never thought of posting them. I'll have to go dig some up. I have some unique photos from AMVIV I and II because I usually let them wander around with the camera. They get some shots with a totally different perspective.

That is a great picture. Frame it quick! They grow up too fast. My oldest 4 year old just turned 32.

My 4 year old niece thinks my MINI has some inexplicable connection to Minnie Mouse. She always gets excited when she sees it and yells, "The MINI's here!"

my 7 year old neice wants one herself, only hers would be "cool" because it would be hot purple with hot pink flames.

Nik: I notice your MINI has S-Lites, too!
I remember while I was waiting the 3 months to get my car that Emily would always correct family and friends when they referred to my car as a Mini--she'd correct them with: "It's not a Mini, it's a MINI Cooper S," with emphasis on the S. This year (her 4th) has been the most adorable for me so far. All her 10-year old sister wants is a lime green slug bug (New Beetle...)

cheers,

Frame them and hang 'em in your office. Great to look at when your day is spinning out of control.

Woah, that's pretty good. Acutally, very good compared to any of mine. I've finally found the secret to drawing MINIs: flat butt, rounded shape, and short snout.

Amazing what we can learn from the little ones.
