Nice museum!

It is in Germany unfortunately... I mean it is good that it is there (A part of the BMW Museum), but ideally it will be some museum on the west coast - or Ohio!

Hang on lads... I've got a great idea!

You could try the lane motor museum in nashville, TN. They specialize in micro-cars

Another choice would be the LeMay America's Car Museum in Tacoma Washington.  It is located right next to the Tacoma Dome.

Hi Spitz - I agree; flags tens to cause a bit of confusion! The flag above is from The Netherlands... same colors but Russia is white, blue, red, (from the top) as opposed to red, white, blue...

I lived in the Netherlands back when I joined... so it has stayed. Flags are tough for me since I tend to change them quite often. I have been through more than a handful since I left the Netherlands (I still miss the cheese!)... As I indicated I am in Boston at the moment (Red white & blue flag also, but a bit more complex arrangement in this case...).

And I am about to change it again... (actually - this one will also be Red, white and blue... but this upcoming flag will have a small 'union jack' and the southern cross in it!

 

Antonio.

Are you in Russia at the moment?  Your question and flag confuse things a bit.
The displayed flag is used to quickly identify where the poster is located.

The British Transportation Museum in Dayton Ohio immediately comes to mind. Since he doesn't frequent this forum very often, I will forward this thread to Pete Stroble on your behalf.

Hi all - I am looking at a possible move abroad and need to figure out how to address my mini being left behind. 

I have made a few calls to museums who may be interested in having a mini for a bit... Any ideas?

I am in the Boston area at the moment - but look to end-up on the west coast on the way back...

Thanks!

 

Antonio.
