Here's a hilarious MINI ad I had not come across before:

in a magazine, my friend found a MINI barf bag.
I am serious! It is one of those airline style paper barf bags (ok, in correct lingo airsickness bag), complete with MINI logo and this text:

Let's not mess up the interior.
Let's make clickety-clack sounds as we climb to the top. Let's remember to keep our hands and feet inside the ride at all times. Let's spin round and round and round and round 'til the guy in the back seat just can't stomach it anymore. Let's Motor.

What a hoot!
I keep the bag in my back now.

On my first test drive, four adults were in the car...my motoring advisor, me, and my two teenagers in the back seat. We hit the twisties in "spirited" fashion. When I (the driver) quickly glanced back for a reaction, the kids were both green and very worried looking. :smile:

>>Mini had a good marketing campaign...the air fresheners were good as well.

The Mini campaign was brilliant. And Eric Idle said Germans don't have a sense of humor.

My immediation reaction when I first saw what was coming out on the Mini was "These people get it!"

Motoring finally has meaning other than bad Night Ranger lyrics. It means Zoom Zoom.

Who is actually running the MINI motoring campaign, is it a German group, is it Brit-ish, or is it US? NE1 know?

Ok, since it's old home week, I'm here also.

Back on subject: Jason or anyone else I've got a few of the bags as well as some of the air fresheners I'll be more then happy to hand out during the Dragon run.

Also thinking about a mini social event after the Biltmore tour, say about 4:00 out at our place? Any takers, we are in Asheville so if your staying in Robbinsville it's about 1+20 to the east, but we have a lovely mini road!

Sorry I was off the board had to pay some bills, EOM stuff.

MG-BGT: Thanks for the welcome, I'll get the sig up pretty soon, feel kinda funny having a sig and only 14 posts. How long until I'm in second gear?

Sam my man: We can hoist a few when you come over for the Dragon, we'd love to have you stop in. I missed the race yesterday, grandkids came up and we had a snowball fight.

Back on Topic: I forgot what the topic was, sorry
