Ok , how many buisiness's , especially non mini ones , use a mini picture in their signage . We found this one recently on a car yard in North Hobart on a recent Tassie trip , very detailed really . I was under very strict instructions I was not to sneak back there at night and remove it :( .....

There is a rust removal and budget car place in Coffs that has a clubman on there sign too , I'll put a photo up after I've been down Cook Drive again .

There is Wreckers in Gawler SA that has a mini van that has been extended to a limo as their sign. it is about 20 feet or so up on a pole. It is bright orange.

I will get a photo next time i am passing. I am sure other South Aussies have seen this too.

cheers

Yeah GT , top of Elizabeth street just north of the restaurant strip . Ok , Coops , I was wondering why they had that sign , I've only seen the Suzuki , the mini must have been before it . Good looking sign though , look good on the garage wall .

I was going to say that I had a photo here somewhere of a car yard near there with a mini on the roof . Maybe the original rusted out so they had to replace it with a sign , from memory it wasn't looking too good 10 years ago .....

There's a sign on the RSL across the road from my work that has "Mini Mania" printed at the bottom. Don't think it has anything to do with minis tho :(
