MINI Adverts, and Blog Updates
Sorry for the lack of updates again, I've been putting in major hours at my job lately. So again, this is not an abandoned blog, it's just not always a number one priority... I'll let you know if it ever hits abandoned status.
In other news, I just received my March 2004 Issue of Road and Track today. It's the one with the Mitsubishi Eclipse Concept-E on the cover, with the lead story of 'Hot New Sports Cars'. Much to my pleasure, it had yet another cool MINI advertisement.
Let's Recreate Automotive History* Let's see what this street legal go-cart can do. Let's find a big, empty parking lot. Let's bust out the orange cones. Let's pull out the stopwatch. Let's set a slalom course for adventure. Let's get ready. Let's get set. Let's Motor
*Road & Track puts tons of new cars through their 700ft slalom test to measure handling and agility. It's kind of a big deal. And considering a stock MINI Cooper beat some pretty serious rides, including the Dodge Viper SRT-10 and Porsche 911 Turbo, you may want to tell your friend riding shotgun to eat a very light lunch.
It comes with a foldout with 8 orange cones on double-thick paper, and classic MINIadvert style instructions, including this little helpful hint : Avoid cones like it's your job.

Another side note: If you use Opera to view this site, the sidebar is split in half, part at the top part of the page, and part at the bottom. If someone has any idea why this is happening, and how I can fix it, I would much appreciate the help. I've tried to figure it out to no avail.
