Beautiful MINI, especially the color... but of course I'm a little bit biased.

Me too! I have had 3 MINIs. One orange vert, one green/white MCS, and the blue one I have now.

Alright everyone, new pix from the first shoot!

Shooting the MINI is way cooler than shooting my old Jeep, it just makes every location work.

Do you have JCW brake calipers on your car? Nice score.

Nope, painted them with duplicolor caliper paint right before the shoot .

That location is so awesome, need to take some R56's out there so I can send the pix in to MINI, don't think they'd want anything of an R53 .

BTW, I forgot to mention that those were some of the best auto pictures I've ever seen. You have quite a talent.

Best regards,
Michael
