Bessie traveled to International Autos, Milwaukee, to visit the youngest member of the new MINI line, the MINI Clubman. We didn’t get a chance to take a spin in the new Clubman. However, we did get a chance to trample through the spacious backseat. No one I know walked purchased a Clubman, but our curiosity was satiated. My aesthetic sense is still not quite happy with the back contrast. Here’s to hoping they make those body colored next year. Bessie was thankful she wasn’t being replaced by the younger, roomier model. View photos…

Today’s MINI comes to you from our good friends, Jenny and Brian. They came across this one on a trip to Gatlinburg, Tennesse. Staring out at them from the Hollywood Star Car Museum was a Red Italian Job MINI Cooper S. Time didn’t permit getting the full museum tour. Anyone with more info, please share.

While at the Hollywood Star Car Museum website, I stumbled across a gem of a website. Visit the cars of George Barris, King of Kustomizers. You might just get some crazy ideas on customizing your own MINI Cooper.

My friend Emily went to New York and all I got was this photo. Enjoy the Hammer & Coop expansive billboard with its very real looking MINI.
