MINIs On Top in Roundel Magazine

[NHRef]

The article "MINIS ON TOP!" has just come out in the October issue of the BMW CCA club magazine Roundel.

Well written ( ! ) with excellent photos by Doug Mahar, the story opens with a two-page photo spread of the full parking lot On Top and the Presidentials to the south. Various photos include "Mini Coopers carve through the twisties on Bear Notch Road," "Old-school Mini Coopers join the Loon Mountain Resort pre-rally gathering," "Minis pose in front of the famous Mount Washington Hotel," and an uncaptioned photo of STRYKR2, a red/black MINI Cooper S covered in ducks . . .

The article is followed by MINI MEETS MAZDA ("With a price gap of only five percent, the Mini Cooper S faces stiff competition from the Mazdaspeed 3 for hot-hatch supremacy" and "Mini Car, Grand Effort" ("A Grand-Am Mini Cooper team races for the best of reasons: It's fun.")

BMW CCA members, check it out!

Yep, I got mine saturday and though I don't usually rip it open, I did and discovered it. I'll read it soon...
I did get a bit of a laugh of the mini vs mazda article following. Of course nothing can compete with the speed3 at that price point.

I haven't opened my Roundel issue yet! Now I have an excuse to open it.

AWESOME issue, yeah Roundel. I know how hard it is juggling articles and trying to please all. My hats and membership dues :-) proudly go out to the BMWCCA this year. Well done. A must have MINI Cooper issue for the club periodical reader. I would have been at MOT this year, but was gleefully trippin' in our new to us Westfalia down at OBX...

Now THAT'S a scary thought!

Trust me, I've seen my last name spelled a lot worse . . .
