The right spot. The right time. The right photographer in the co-pilot’s seat. It all adds up to a great moment caught on digital film. The moment is now shared with MINI enthusiasts on the cover of the “North American Motoring (NAM) Alliance Magazine”. Congrats to all the other featured MINIs, Minis and their photographers!

The photo features a scene from the Dane County, Wisconsin backroads from the 2007 Madison Fall Color Drive. We attribute it to Jenny, since we think by about that time she had grabbed the camera off the mirror since she didn’t want to end up in an accident caused by an over-zealous photographer/MINI pilot. Thank you, Jenny.

Jenny has announced her boredom. The website hasn’t had anything exciting on it for awhile. There haven’t been any adventures in long time. People don’t go out for Ice Cream with me, even if the outside temp is cooler than dessert. The roads are generally slippery making driving dangerous. The problem: snow. It just doesn’t seem to stop this year. When we do get enough energy, it starts falling again only to pull out the shovels yet again. Bessie is certainly bored and fed up with the weather. Lately, she’s only been motoring the usual daily commute and the most excitement she gets is the weekly snowstorm. Such tragedy. We can’t wait for Spring!

It all started with the hope of a free video camera. We scoured our photos for Bessie’s most interesting pose for the “Say Cheese” contest at RoadsideAmerica.com. It wasn’t until after we submitted “Bessie being eaten by a shark” that we learned it was a random selection contest, not a merit contest. Bessie did make the 150 photos posted on the site though. Visit her on page 5 at RoadsideAmerica.com, near the naked cowboy, giant beer containers and a terrible thunder lizard. Only in America…
