Delta Air Lines Mini

Not sure how many of you have seen this car. Delta modified this car at it's maintenance facility in Atlanta and uses it for promotional purposes at events around the country. The 3rd pictures shows it in front of the "Breast Cancer Awareness" 757 with matching paint job.

I've seen it at an airshow here in Michigan (Selfridge ANG base) a few years ago. It was in the Delta livery and was next to the Breast Cancer Awareness 757.

I'm not sure if it was the same one, but I've seen one here in NYC that looks the same, as well as a couple of the Red Bull MINI-cominos.

Wings are a good mod to prevent door dings on your MINI.

Come up to Dallas and hang out at the Blue Hanger Cafe on Saturday mornings and watch the planes come and go. To get to the cafe you have to navigate the taxiways and to leave you might have to wait in a line of planes waiting to take off while you sit in your MINI.

I will say, it's a bit disconcerting to be sitting there in the middle of a line of six airplanes on a motorcycle while the plane behind you has a prop spinning close enough you can feel the air thumping away.
