Gen 1 MINI Build on All Girls Garage-First MINI Ever on the Shaow


If you get Velocity Channel on your cable or dish make it a point to tune into All Girls Garage Saturday December 3rd at 11:30 AM Eastern. A new episode featuring a R53 Build from a stock street car to a fully modified Street Performance car is being aired. The car was built using all M7 Speed parts. And yes they actually do all the work themselves. I didn't believe it but I witnessed it myself at the studios in Tampa.
Enjoy!

Why wouldn't they do the work themselves?

Really?

"Girls" don't do car stuff, well enough alone drive right. Any guy knows that and they are more than willing to say that out loud. Remember the commercial talking about muffler bearings? Who were the two sleezy mechanics talking to? And you just need to look at toys and which are marketed to who to see how real this is.

OK, some of that was sarcasm. But, this stereo type is alive and well today and probably worse now than it ever was. We raised 4 girls and heard plenty about what they "can" and "can't" do.

Glad to hear that they do their own work. There are a lot of people would question the show's authenticity just because it is fronted by women but would never think to question a show fronted by men.

It willl be great to see how this all turns out.

And, yes, our girls know a wrench from a screw driver and a few more things about cars.

Probably one of the best shows of that type. They show actual work, educate a bit, not as good as Wheeler Dealers but still good. And they work on different stuff, I cannot handle one more LS swap into pick your muscle car.

Well done ladies!

Wow. You solved the mystery on how manufactures get their products advertised on television shows.
