Long time ago, since World War II, people got to know about the cars and they become a part of our lives. Beside, some people have cars for collection and enjoy it.
This picture was taken in Pai Maehongson. It was a symbol of car in the past, World War II?
Sir Alec Issiginis. A Man behind a revolution. His first sketch of the car was on a napkin. He has carved his name in motoring history and transformed the way the world feels about cars. A man with a vision, he embarked on the mission to create a car that drives like a dream. And he did with the Mini. The rest is history.
[From DOMINI ION, CELEBRATING 50 YEARS MINI MOTORING. ION at ION Orchard Singapore. 4-13 SEP 2009]
In Thailand, MINI was popular and I have known about it since I was young. I remember it was called Austin Mini and there were Minis popularly on the road in Bangkok at those time. Then, I almost forgot it since it started to disappear for sometime. But recently MINI has come back again, I have seen them on the road not long before. I guess people have MINI for their collection too, and I noticed that the MINI lovers were formed as a group to meet and go out camping as showing in the picture
This picture was taken at Hot Spring Camping Site, Pai District, Maehongson. I heard that the price of a MINI was very expensive. Probably a million. This might be for the collection.
MINI displayed in front of ION Department Store, Orchard Road. As the story of Sir Alec Issiginis was mentioned above.
Beautiful words for Mini, from 1950-1990, they are " A sensation from the fifties, experience it once more." " Fall in love all over again with the little miracle of the 60's" " Come discover this baby in it's 70s glory" "Simply electrifying in the 80s. Now see it to believe it." " Set your eyes on another flying machine of the 90s."
Witness a legend reborn in the 21st century. This picture was taken from the Motor Shows, March 28th 2009. It was beautiful by my eyes
One Mini was parked in front of a hospital in Bangkok. Look proud as being a Mini
Splendid! Who the owner of the car was, he/she must have good taste.
This was not Mini, it was from the Motor shows too. It is my dream to own a beautiful car like this in the picture if next life is true.
This was even my impossible dream in this life. It was a beautiful and expensive car
Come back to the real life. This car was parked in front of my house a few week ago. A family still use it in daily lives
Mini is only in my interest. I really like to look at it. But, my day in day out activities deal with a big baby in the picture. HILUX VIGO now is everything for me. A poor car lover. Chavalvut
