New Mini in the family....photo in Death Valley and dealer

I have a PW/B MCS and have had it for almost a year. After they kept stealing mine I finally got my parents to get one. We picked it up two weeks ago and it already has about 2K miles on it. Here are a couple photos from picking it up and the drive back. Or here is the full photo album that includes Death Valley, Hoover Dam, the ET Highway near Area 51, and the Shoe Tree on Highway 50 in Nevada.
Photobucket Album
On the way back someone came out of a quickmart and saw it and called to the people back in the store "Hey they are driving a sneaker." You do have to admit that a PW/B with black hood stripes does look a little sneaker like.

Enjoy.

The long and straight road....not winding road....

The state of Nevada actually put up the signs officially designating it the ET Highway. I was pretty long and straight most of the time. Do know the actual distance but seemed like we were driving straight for about an hour, then a stop and then 30 to 40 minutes more.

We also stopped at the ALEinn Resturant and had Alien Burgers. I'm not sure what kind of Alien it was made from but tasted a lot like beef. Guess that is why the alien's are always mutilating cows.

Here's the link to the ET Highway online photo album.

Have a fun week.
