The THEME for City Daily Photo blogs for October is CONTRAST! My office assistant, Allison, and I drove around Eagan in her BIG Chevy Suburban between office clients just to find a SMALL Mini Cooper with which to contrast. Friendly Doug and his pet Chihuahua were happy to be photographed for my blog. When we arrived back at the office after chasing around town, we spotted a cute, yellow, Mini Cooper in our parking lot! How do Mini Coopers contrast with Suburbans? Look at the numbers: Length: 8 feet, 1 inch VS 18 feet, 6 inches
Width: 5 feet, 6 inches VS 6 feet, 7 inches
Height: 4 feet, 7 inches VS 6 feet, 5 inches
Weight: 2,568 pounds VS 7,400 pounds
Gas usage: not so much VS a lot!
Base cost: $19,500 VS $40,000
Passengers: 4 & SMALL dog VS 7 & BIG dog

Nice contrast. When I had a Mini, driving on the freeway next to a semi used to scare the heck out of me.
Safe Leif's camera is very speedy as you would not have believed how that sweet puppy was shaking! Doug was such a kind, willing participant, too!
Very cool entry!
Cute! I like your take on the theme!
Nice one Leif, love the dog too :)
Are you comparing spec? I think I like the mini.
You have interesting idea of posting, I like it.
Happy Theme Day!

You got a Posty: I want to give 15 postcards :)
Liebe Allison
Ich glaube, Sie haben einen lieben, netten und grosszügigen Chef, dass Sie sich ein solch grosses Auto leisten können :-))
Liebe Grüsse an Ihren Big Boss Leif

Great contrast idea. Another good example would be of those itty-bitty "Smart" cars, which are even tinier than the Mini-Coop! (See my 5/26 entry.) :-)
Cool ... i like your theme post. Very original.
en effet, belle difference entre la Baby voiture et la big voiture ;o))
I love this mini cooper but even in Germany are really expensive .Best regards
Good work with an unexpected result. Great idea and a perfect post for this theme day.
Ha! Allison looks a lot more comfortable in CONTRAST to her counterpart in the Mini Cooper. Isn't it nice to have space? ;-) Happy Theme Day!
Great photo. I love the statistical facts. A bit like Top Trumps! Great theme day post :)
Cool theme day.
That Mini Cooper remind me of Mr. Bean's car and really suit for that cute Chihuahua.
Wow, I'd go for the small car! It looks cute!

I LOOOOVE MINI COOPERS!!!
That is a great idea for Theme Day! It sounds like you had fun too.
Looks like there's a babe in that big black car. And a cute dog in the little red one.
The big one is okay, Leif ... the mini cooper is great ... i love it!
Very good Theme Day, funny and elegant!
Methinks it is fair to say that the two of you are certifiably nuts!
But very funny!
What a humorous take on the theme day. Well done! ;-)
Those SUVs are something I definitely do not miss.
