Just an Idea: Opening a Mini Speed Shop in Lincoln?
After my misfortunes at Markel (see "Unhappy Motorer" thread) my father in law thinks that it would be a great idea to open a "Mini Speed" shop in lincoln. my question to the locals is, how do you think it would do? would local mini owners do business with this kind of a shop? this right now is just an idea and we are looking for some input, so please post with some info, ideas, and input. anything would be much appreciated!!!

I tell you what, I would come see you guys and you are another 50 miles farther from me than Markel.
I'd go to them for warranty work, and you for any speed shop items.
But you might want to see about making it a BMW speed shop, rather than just MINI. Even though Markel says they move about 30 MINIs a month, I don't know how many of those people are enthusiasts for the motoring/performance of the MINI, or just those looking to be unique.

we would not perform any warranty work, just routine maint. and performance mods. lincoln really doesnt have anything like that and i do know that there are a few mini owners in the area that may or may not be interested in something like this. i do appreciate the input though

there is a need for a speed shop catering to folks not on the high end, but also not ricer-fanboy-tastic. there are a couple of locations I know of that would be ideal if you could get a large enough operation up and running, but it would take a pretty impressive investment to get it moving.
The BMW crowd in general doesn't have a real "speed-shop" either... and there are a LOT of cross-polinated MINI/BMW households... pretty decent chance I will be one of them soon...

We are still putting some ideas together. The main thing that it comes down to is the "investment" part. We both relize that it is going to cost a pretty penny to get a shop up and running. Another thing that was brought up was the liability issues. I think that both of us are still pretty committed, but right now we are just trying to work out some details.
Any other additional input is welcomed.
