I have been on a quest for sometime now to visit every MINI dealer in the US. I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Since the posted pictures were talken, I was able to visit 3 more dealers.. I have received so much neet stuff I long ran out of room to put it all..(I am adding a 3rd car garage that should take care of the wall space for the stuff ) I get something from each dealer with their name on it to signify having been there. From most I got the dealer plate/frame with their name on it. Some keychains, some shirts, and some a combo of things.. I will be visiting 3 more the last week of Febuary in Atlanta, and S. Carolina. It that point, I sould only have 5 more to go!!
I have also visited a few in Canada, Germany, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic, Croatia.

 

How many do you have left? And which dealer in Germany did you visit? The one in Mannheim was pretty nice and had good service.

 

I dont recall off hand where in Germany they were. The Main one I went to was the one in Munich at the BMW/MINI HQ. The others where just passing by and seeing one.

 

Neat looking wall! You definitely got bit hard by the MINI bug!

 

Well he is on his 3rd Mini, going on his 4th possibly... hehe.

 

Cool stuff! You should be a story in MC2. I would like to read more about your experiences.

 

I'm jealous....what fun! I wish we had the time to do something like this.... As posted above, you should definitely tell your story to MC2 and MINIUSA....

Donna

 

Wow, that's def. a lot of traveling. Wish i had the time for that. Also, agree with the others that said your story should be in MC2 and Mini USA.

 

Yes, you should be featured! As one of the first MINI owners in Arizona, you have definitely become a fixture in the MINI community as well as in the hearts of your clubmates.

 

That's cool. I use to have a motorcycle licensee plate collection, maybe I will start a Mini collection too.

 

Thanks all.. It has been a fun adventure. I am going to post more about it when I get closer to the end. I had actually submitted something to MC2 a while ago, but never heard anything back..I did meet a marketing person from MINI USA in Connecticut awhile back, who seemed interested in what I was doing So when done, Im suppost to send him my story.. we'll see

 

I need to go to ,, salt lake, baton rouge, charleston SC, albany,Milwaukee.. I will be getting atlanta, greenville sc, san antonio in the next couple weeks

 

and it cost me 32 grand.... I'm afraid to go to any more!!! hehe

 

When I visited Braum in Miami, I ended up getting my 04S that was attached to the license plate and had it shipped back to AZ. That was an expensive trip.

 

Very cool! Hope to read the full story when you're done.

 

Ok, I now have an other to add to the list.. I hear there is now one in Omaha..

 

That is so COOL! What an adventure! Did you do this alone or did your wife or someone else go with you?

 

Alone for the most part.. I do during business trips.

 

That's pretty impressive!

Look out, though, supposedly upwards of 15 more dealerships will be coming soon

 

Thats good... give me reason to go to new cities... Got an other one more today in GA. And will have 2 more by weeks end.. still trying to figure out a work trip to Omaha

 

MMMAArrrrrrrkkkkkkk

 

If you head to Markel BMW in Omaha, be sure to talk to Kim in the service department. She'd be interested in hearing your story. I always talk to her about all things MINI.

 

Will do! Hope to get there by end of summer

 

Thanks for coming to visit me at MINI Durham in Ontario, Canada!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will miss you lots :D It was such fun times today and yesterday!!!!!!!! I'm really excited to have met you!
