    Nice photos Alex.

    Seeing those Minis reminds me of when I was a all of 16 years old. My friend had a Mini and we used to cruise around town from time-to-time. I can't begin to describe the feeling one gets when sitting next to a semi truck, and seeing the wheel's lug nuts at eye level.

    Thanks, Alex; as a proud new MINI owner myself, I particularly appreciate the last few photos. I hope you don't mind that I shared them with the folks on North American Motoring (the X Marks of the MINI world).

    Same POV from my first car, a '63 Midget. Thought nothing of running up and down Hwy 101 from SoCal to San Jose during my early college years.

    Great pix, Alex, looks like a fun time! I did have to laugh at a Mini tour group we saw in Cornwall last visit, several of the originals had rear-window decals proudly declaring themselves "100% BMW-free"
