Big Rocks
Near the British Invasion field in Stowe, VT is Smugglers Notch; a twisty road winds up into hills and gets very narrow through some huge boulders … back in 2002 I drove there in my first MINI and took a picture of the car in front of a rock which made it look like a toy!
Finally this year I remembered to repeat the picture, this time with GPMINI:

(as always, click for bigger)
Here’s the original picture I took, back in 2002:

Unfortunately on my way home from British Invasion, I had an enounter with another rock, not so big but big enough to do this to the windshield:

(since GPMINI doesn’t have rain sensing wipers, maybe I’ll try PPG glass this time …)

Oh man, Ian. Sorry about the windshield - lousy way to end a perfect weekend. There does seem to be some consensus that the PPG glass is tougher stuff. Will be good research to see if that’s true. Congrats on the First Place - must’ve been fun to have fresh praise heaped on GPMINI!

Ouch! Sorry to hear about the windshield.
