Title: Classic Mini Vs New Mini - The Photoshoot
Post by: 08micsta on 10 May 2010, 13:29

Hello guys

Thought I would share these pics with you guys since the Mini love here is strong.  :kiss:

To explain the post below. I am the Chairman of the Mini Fanatics Club in Cape Town in South Africa.

The concept behind this shoot is to have marketing material for Mini Fanatics when I post up the flyer and market our first ever official Breakfast Run.

The Photoshoot - The idea with the new and old is to show future members that we are a club that welcomes both the new and classic Mini. I think we pulled this off very well. The locations were fantastic and in my opinion truly went well with the definition of what MINI is. Fun, social, glamorous and yet secretly deceptive and funky.

Enough talk. A few teasers!

I love them.   :cool:

Thank you very much Croy (Owner of the red JCW) for coming along. Without your Mini this whole concept and shoot would not be possible. You were great to work with and a lot of your ideas contributed to these pictures.

Unusually for me I can say I like the looks of both old and new! Only problem with the new mini is the horrendous interior, really lets it down  :sad:

Those are lovely pics, totally jealous of the lovely blue sky and sunshine!

Nice pics, I especially like the ones on the freeway. Was it closed or just very very quiet?

Thank you everyone.

The location is actually an overhead freeway which was never completed. They stopped building it over 30 years ago already as they realised the two bridges were not going to align. Its open to public. You just need to know how to get in there.

Its retarred often as its used for movies too.

Thank you for moving this.

I have some other shots I must still post up from other shoots I did.

Great pics, although i feel you seem to place the old school Mini in the background of most of the shots, and the new mini at the front.

But both nice cars, and great shots!
