Warning to those who take their MINI's on vacation...

MINI's are camera hogs!

i take a nice little road trip with Buddha taking in the sites. come to this little place on the side of the road...

went to take some more pictures and Buddha says take one of ME!!! so to pacify the cheeky little guy....

so now that I've taken the token Buddha picture i move on to taking a few more...

thouht this would be a nice artistec shot only to discover that SOMEONE stuck his nose in the picture at the last minute...

let my vacation be a warning... watch out for sneaky little cars messing up your vacation pics! HE thought it was funney cheeky little bastard.....

There must be something about that form that MINIs are attracted to!

Winston at Carhenge in Alliance, NE....as close as he could get!

technically Buddha wasnt suposed to be there. but his not-so-little ego had him chanting "who needs 4WD when you have ME ME ME!" so Buddha went on his first off-roding adventure on his way to stonehenge complete with 3" deep mud (he sprayed a rooster tail of mud for a 1/2 mile once we got back on the pavement). told him he couldnt make it but he was determined to make it up that hill.

IT WAS THE ALIENS! Thats why Buddha kept getting into each picture, he was being teleported into them

Wow! Winston showed alot of restraint compared to Buddha!

...Wish we would've gotten him the JCW package.

Actually, there were too many people around to pull off a stunt like that!

Buddha wanted to try Bungee Jumping off the bridge (he heard it was all the rage), but I wouldn't let him. He sulked for at least 15 minutes. Spoiled Brat. LOL!

Suprised he didn't want to base jump (they open the bridge up 1 day a year for it. (or at least they used to)) There are some Damn good roars in the area of the Bridge. I rode that area a few years back on my motorcycle.

I love it. I went to that Stonehenge replica when I was a kid.

This is inspiration to start going more places.

Thanks for the post

So cute! (For a cheeky little Budda!) Am I correct in assuming that Budda's camera pal is a bit cheeky also???
