I've got another question for y'all!

where is the cloest MINI dealership to where we are staying? I want to do some serious MINI Gear shopping while I am down there, since it is so much cheaper the ordering it up here.

Anyone know? and do you know if they have a good selection of items?

Thanks!

~Rebecca~

Hey anyone from Canada willing to bring me two sixes of Sleeman Creme Ale? I will pay you back when we're there. Pretty please?

There isn't one that is close to tell you the truth. It's a few hours in every direction to the nearest. Greenville, Atlanta.


What route are you taking to get there and we can help you figure out a nice, well stocked dealership that is on your way.


Actually... I just looked. You'll only be passing two on the trip. Cincinnati and Detroit. Anyone have opinions on either?

Cincinnati and Detroit are the only ones eh? how about east or west? As we will be down there for 3 or 4 days after the Dragon, we are willing to drive as we want to explore down there!

If you want to drive down and check out Atlanta, we have two MINI dealerships. It's about 3 hours but the drive is very nice and Atlanta is a huge city with plenty to see.

You could always detour and go to Music City - Nashville.
It's few hours west, but if that's something you're interested in....

But, like Jenn said, there are two in Atlanta and one here in Greenville.

Or.....

$55 (including shipping), no work, sit on your butt and drink beer, and a few days later you can have a CruiseCam.

A year ago I would have built my own, too... but now just too crazy busy with other stuff...

Glad you can make it! I see you're from Canton. My family lives up there in Jasper, not far from Canton.
