Car Stalker - Minneapolis-St. Paul

It's true, when I see a cool car on the road and either I'm driving and the wife has the camera or vice-versa, I'll go miles out of my way to stalk my victims until I get a few choice shots.

This vintage Mini drove by us and since we were in our (new) Mini it just felt right to tag along for a few miles. It still amazes me how small the original Mini is compared to the modern version.
First they go by in the outside lane, should we follow? Of Course we should.
We almost lost them at this junction...
...but thankfully traffic slowed the nimble Mini down.
Then we got the money shot...it seriously felt like we were in a SUV compared to the older Mini, staring down at them from the towering heights of a Mini Cooper!
Then we let our prey go on its merry way, they went left, we went right.

So, if you were driving your beautiful vintage Mini back in June in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area and a blue and white Mini Cooper followed you for a few miles with a giant camera lens poking out the window, I apologize, but your car was just too awesome not to stalk.
