Rest assured that those pictures are honest to goodness, pucker BMW Media Pool pictures, located on the BMW Servers. And relax...

Yes. What is up with the zip files? Zipping up JPEG picture is a kind of redundent as JPEG is already compressed. There is very little to be gain by zipping it up again.

Not if the JPEG is an uncompressed (i.e. maximum resolution, less articles) format, as these are because they are the original BMW Press photos, for publishing.

Therefore, the compression/decompression phase is seperate, so not causing the display software like PaintShop Pro, Adobe Photoshop, etc. to have to decipher the heavily compressed image.

Is this thread losing the point here I wonder..?

Enjoy

Hi ScottyB,

Long time matey. You can see that:

1). I've updated the master gallery
2). people here are still having the same problems (AOL?) like Ruthie and jordon.

...some things never change!

I don't have AOL. But I sure wish I could see the pic with the 21 people inside the Mini. Why don't you post it?

There is some weird and wonderful internet setup out there. Here you go.

(I wouldn't normally do this because I think it's a awful waste of Hard-disk space with replication, but seeing as you asked so kindly...)

They all look very petite. Lets hope they all washed / didn't have BO!!!
No shoes I noticed either, could occupy too much valuable space / hurt if your smacked in the face by them.

It's silly nevertheless. Has a neat affect on the suspension though - that looks like a decent 'drop' on the arches. Not certain how they'd drive it over speed-bumps though!

Wow....that's impressive! (...and slightly crazed!) Well, if that's the record (no doubt here) just wait a few years and somebody will try 22.
