Something you never see...truck load of minis

I usually gripe and complain about living next door to walmart (I spend too much money over there.) But I didn't compain today when I passed by - I saw something that I bet most of you probably haven't. A truck load of mini coopers just parked there!!! Needless to say, I was shocked and immediately got my camera and went over there. The chili red is my Stella. Come to find out, it was a load of rental vehicles. And when I was taking pics, a fellow club member showed up too!

That is an odd site as most MINIs are transported in enclosed trucks. It's also very bizarre to see so many MINIs that look alike in one place...I've never seen that before!

I've seen many truckloads of MINI's because I worked at a dealership...however they were all transported in enclosed trailers.

Looks like the animal control officer is out snatching up all the BRG puppies found off leash at the local park. Glad mine wasn't out their frolicking around!

That is a pretty odd sighting. Doesn't it make you want to adopt a couple?

I saw the same thing last week. An open truckload of Mini's going the other way on the highway. I was surprised since all the Mini's and BMWs around here are transporting in white enclosed trucks. I wasn't close enough to see if they were older or newer cars. They were all pretty much the same though.
