MINI mice in christmas parade pics

I went shopping to Atlanta last weekend and was able to see the Atlanta MINI group in a very beautiful mouse outfit participate in a christmas parade there. This MINI entry was made possible thanks to the good folks at Global Imports.
Here are a few pic of the Atlanta parade.
Enjoy
Herbert

Here is the whole MINI mouse group ready to join the parade.




Here is closeup of those beautiful mice in action during the parade




A shot from behind, look at those cute tails.

I know MINIs aren't supposed to be cute, but I just don't see any way around it this time. Nothing like a litter of MINIs to cheer up the place. I hope the spectators enjoyed seeing so many at one time....doesn't happen that often. Good job!!

Hey everyone great job. Looks like you got rain on your parade as we did on ours here in Huntsville Al. but it didn't dampen the holiday spirit.

I look forward to seeing the pics from Atlanta every year!

Last year's reindeer were darling and I thought nothing could top them. But these mice have it all over the reindeer! Way to go Atlanta Mini and Global Imports!

This is exactly why people buying large SUVs think our beloved MINIs are just a joke.. But it's still very cute.

That is exactly why people buying small MINI's think their beloved MINI's are perfect because they are not appealing to that crowd.

And the joke is on them at the gas pump. A friend of ours says the Mini (and this applies to the MINI too) is the Mr. Potato head of cars. An antler here, a mouse tail there, a Works kit and some big brakes too.

Great pics Moskito!

From what I'm seeing around town, we have enough MINI's in Chattanooga now to do something like this......

PS As for the "joke", the joke is on anyone who underestimates the MINI. That first pic made me laugh out loud!
