I agree with the 'What?' hand position, but I've been doing that since I was a teenager. Also I think the facial expression should be more of a leer.

I like the "hand-to-the-ear" idea, too!

Also, not sure about the added vertical striping on the MINI.

How 'bout small, pseudo- racing stickers on the MINI with sponsors like Depends, Ensure, Viagra, Prep-H, etc?

I like them. Any way to incorporate a white belt, and sandals with socks.

Are the 'vertical stripes' supposed to be wrinkles?

I agree, the old guy's face is too placid. His mouth should be open and his eyes should be squinting a bit as if he's trying hard to listen. I prefer the hand behind the ear than the megaphone thing. Ask Secco to pose to get the perfect expression. You should add a frantic looking old woman in the passenger seat! We're not all old guys, you know! There are old gals, too! I'm as nutty as you are with Minis!

That round one would make a great grill badge.

We're getting there. How do you like the white walls and moonie wheels? I like "Eh?" better but will go w/ the general consensus.
Yes, the lines represent a wrinkled MINI and age.
Could we put a Blue Head Memere in the passenger seat? Probably.
White belt, shorts w/ black knee socks and dress shoes will be official dress of our first meeting.

Maybe a handicapped parking tag hanging from the mirror?

Love the white wheels.

Not crazy about "Eh?" but I'd settle for "Huh?"

No HP tag. We're just goofy, and we can't heat too good, or don't listen too well.

Brain, nice logo! But those fake teeth should be hanging from our rear view mirrors!

The old man's face still doesn't have enough expression to indicate loss of understanding. His hand is too straight behind the ear. It should be cupped behind the ear. Now, where is the frantic old lady? Perhaps you should make TWO logos, one for the old guys and the other for the old gals?
