A Major Award!

Hey y'all I just won the Mini slogan contest here at Pentagon Car sales in K-Town for my entry: "My Mini is the mistress I can tell my wife about!"

I won two VIP tickets/passes to the Mini Challenge races at the Nurburgring in August, including 2 night’s hotel accommodations. Package is worth ~ €1,000.

Since I'll be deployed in August and can't use these, they offered to swap them for tix next year but I might be deployed or at school by then as well. My schedule is so nuts that I can't make plans like that very easily so I wanted to see if any of y'all were interested before I try to work a deal w/them.

I really wanted the 2nd place prize (Mini Nav system) since I knew I couldn't make the race... Let's make a deal somebody!

That's a sweet prize.....unfortunately I just ordered a Clubman S from their shop in Landstuhl and I'm strapped for cash due to the options.... cannot think of anything else to trade with. Sorry but hopefully they can make a deal with you.

Sweet !! Excellent slogan... I'm impressed with your creativity. (yeah, I'm a little late to the party)

Enjoy the Kaiserslautern area. I spent 7 years of my life there, 4 at Sembach and 3 at Ramstein, and I miss it dearly !

Hey, We are using a local guy here in Heidelberg. He's an American, but not DOD or any affiliation with Military. I did not ask about the VAT, findout on Saturday. 200 euros= every window, various colors, highquality work. If you are thinking about it PM me Ill get you the info. Pictures will be up Saturday afternoon.

ABC Autoglass in Vogelweh (K-Town) takes teh VAT form...they did my rear 3 windows (front windows now illegal in Germany) for ~ 120 Euro I think.

Easy, 1-day service.

They also repaired a rock chip in the winshield fro 60 Euro recently--good company.
