Washed and ready …
Another “bonus” lovely November day, sunny but not hot – perfect for washing GPMINI ready for tomorrows rally …
I took pictures with both my Sony SLT-A55V and Nikon D200 camera; I expected the Nikon pictures to be much better but in fact I preferred the Sony more than half the time. The Nikon might be “truer” but with the lighting creating harsh shadows, the Sony did a better job of using it’s enhanced modes to get more detail in many pictures. The first picture above is Sony, the second is Nikon.
Here’s a couple more – or head over to the Gallery …

UPCOMING: Hrach MINI of Peabody rally
Be sure to contact MINI of Peabody and tell them you’ll be there next Sunday (early) morning for the second annual “Rally for Hrach”:
Customers should have received an email invite – and you need to RSVP; so if you didn’t get your invite, give them a call. And bring your best memories of Hrach, next weekend …
Meanwhile, check out a VERY YOUNG Hrach on this Top Gear clip that MINI friend Dave Newman found on YouTube:

Another new sales category
MINI Coupe sales appear on October’s MINI USA sales figures, just over 400 so far – a record number of Countrymans sold too, though nowhere near the highest number of MINIs sold in one month …

From Wet to Cold …
Weather is changing fast here now! Just 2-1/2 weeks ago it was mid 80s, and now we had overnight snow (in Essex, where GPMINI was, though we did not get snow in Gloucester) …
Nice frost patterns (click for bigger view):
I think GP wants to go back to Florida!
