7,285 miles - My MINI is a Calendar girl... err guy
Woohoo! I submitted the below picture for 3d_geek's annual Owner's Lounge Calendar and guess what? I made it in! Leroy is on the cover with thirteen other MINI's. I was gunning for the coveted July month... that's like making the centerfold (hahaHA) but unfortunately my picture did not register enough votes to warrant a full month. Leroy did garnish enough votes to be considered for the cover and 3d_geek made the subjective decision to include him (thanks 3d!).
Anyway, click here to check out 3d_geek's 2006 calendar. He created two this year; one for the MINI and the other for the Mini.
Wha?? MINI and Mini?? Ok, since you asked :) The MINI (all caps) refers to the Bavarian Motor Work's (BMW) re-design by Frank Stephenson, of which Leroy is one. It can also refer to the MINI brand in general. Mini (proper) refers to the original British Motor Corporation's (BMC) design by Sir Alec Issigonis. One day, I would love to buy one... or receive one as a gift.
There is a very interesting story regarding the picture of the upside-down HO MCC found in the MINI 2006 calendar cover. I will update this blog entry once I find the link.
So that's my piece of good news to share. I ordered a copy of the 2006 OL MINI calendar and it will proudly hang on my refrigerator... but only the cover will show!!
Motor on everybody :)
