Exactly, my good man. I knew I recognized a fellow nitpicker... none of us in the elete circle would use MINI's <sneer> when it should be MINIs.

No no no....


MINI (i)s on Top = MINI's on Top

like "Theo's on Top" for instance

or "Ian's on Drugs"

[for the uninitiated, MOT '03 (there it is again) was blessed with a superfluous t-shirt apostrophe]

Sounds like Harvey's isn't doing anything right now, so I vote for his!

MINIs (or MINIS) is plural- I can't see how you can make a contraction out of that...

Ah yes, a little test for you. You passed.

My father was an English teacher. Can you tell? Also, Latin, Russian & Spanish. I can get my grammar corrected in several languages.

[yellowmininy]

Well, in my profession I can honestly say I've smelled worse mothers. (No apostrophe...)

[Pamlico]

I can imagine.

By the way, I finally recorded the GPS coordinates for the Oven Door Bakery for our caravan to the caravan meeting place. Some of those coming from The West have GPS systems so this will help get them here. Also, I thought I might stop in there tomorrow AM and see if she's willing to have a few of the MOT flyers to hand out.

Dan,
No guarantees of any spare hats on the day - but you can easily contact me & mail an extra check now to add a hat to your registration, if you wish to do so.

Thanks Theo for posting the pics - I just haven't found the time to do it!

I can't wait to wear that hat!
