That’s “Briefing Time,” by the way, a B-25J based at the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum, in Reading PA. Lovely aircraft.

And glove box! And pass-through door if you have one!

Oh I agree.

On the non-JCW models, the outer grilles have fog lights in them. I just looked at the MINIUSA site and it looks like front fogs are not even an option on these new JCWs. I think that is a first.The inner pair of grilles are brake cooling ducts on the non-JCW models. I assume they are still brake cooling ducts here,

I don’t know about the 2014+ models but there are various kits one can install on older cars to open up the scoop and make it into a “cold air intake” that duct into the top of the filter box. Some MINI owners just open up the scoop to let air into the top of the engine bay. There is a semi-open plastic panel inside

The MINI Cooper Coupe does indeed have a hatch. And no rear seats.

Also, this has TWO guns!

You got it! Ridge and Township Line Road.

This is about 30 miles or so northwest of Philadelphia and the further west you go in the county and into the neighboring ones, the more farmland you see. There are some local farms along that road as well, or near it and that road is fairly busy during the day. I’ve even seen combines parked under abandoned gas

I have no issue with it, as he was likely going between farm fields (we have them on the western edge of the county). As I recall, when seeing that particular vehicle in the picture, that bar mounted outside of the grille (just above the orange triangle) was slowly turning. At the time I was thinking to myself, if it

Yep! Ridge and Township Line Road!

Never mind Kansas, this is on a suburban road in Montgomery County, PA. 2 lanes of travel in each direction, plus turning lanes. Not exactly out in the country!

I think they are also illegal in Pennsylvania, but I’m not entirely sure as the relevant motor codes for brake lights seemed contradictory last I looked. I have never seen them in use on a car in my travels around the state, but I have seen them on motorcycles.

Fortunately, there are many dozens on display in various museums and other places in the U.S. and around the world.

How about that camerman who was stationed on the other use of the wall? I bet he uttered a few choice words, too. That could have be very bad for him.

Are you going to have your current books for sale while the Skyline is displayed at the Simeone?

A long time ago I saw a possibly tongue-in-cheek quote somewhere (I can’t remember who said it, nor find it now) that went something along the lines of: “The purpose of a fighter plane is to shoot down other fighter planes.”
