SUCCESS!!!

So I went to the PS MINI Show yesterday at the LeMay Car Museum and I took my dad, I figured I could maybe warm him up more to the idea of me purchasing a MINI soon...and it's funny because I knew what was going to happen...

I have him hooked! I knew it wouldn't be hard...
He has MINI Fever!!!

So I chitchat with him the whole time, filling his head with ideas, telling him how fun it would be to have one and how much he would enjoy it.

He has never been a car person, but since they bought a Camry a couple years back he has been wanting something with more speed...

so I took him to the show to show him what he needs to buy!

We get home, we build a HB Clubman on the configurator, look at NW MINI's inventory, and head down to the dealership! They were really busy so we didn't get to talk to an MA but it was nice to just walk around and look at everything on our own.

but mainly, the most exciting thing about this is-

I got him, hook, line, and sinker! (he would like that, since he's a fisherman)
one of the biggest doubters, is one of the biggest supporters now!

SUCCESS!

SCORE! Worked that way with my son, and I have been a car guy all my life! Then again, these are pretty infectious little rides ain't they?!
