Hey everybody!

I was just down at MINI of Hawaii when I noticed they got new tank-tops for both men and women! Also newly available are MINI of Hawaii T-shirts in colors to match your MINI!

They also received a shipment of the new Italian Job T-shirts! They come in three different styles and all come equiped with the MINI of Hawaii logo on the back.

No pics just yet. Guess you'll just have to come down and see for yourself.

Kari,
I have a friend who is going to send me a MINI of Hawaii Red T-Shirt because I am going to be getting a Chili Red MCS at the end of the year! I can't wait to get it!

You have a great site!

Blue waves and palm trees.Tantalus and sunset on the beach. We believe there are places in the heart you can only get to in a MINI. So let's make our cars as unique as we are. Let's blur the line between driving and desire. Let's not check our email. Let's not regret. LET'S MOTOR.


Here's what it says about the Motoring Gear :

In the near future, you'll be able to purchase MINI Motoring Accessories and MINI MotoringGear online. Until then, contact Kari at (808) 593-8699 or kari@minihawaii.com for more information on ways that you can You-ify your MINI.

MOTOR ON !

I tried to post your photo - you are so pretty - but it ended up huge on the page so I didn't!

Yes, the MINI tanks were great looking. So were the models! I also had a chance to see the IJ shirts and they were COOL!

Kari-
Very nice MINI of HI site. Let's do online sales of clothes but watch out for the posted pictures- talk to minikahuna about what you can show or not-due to restrictions on products. Otherwise great stuff.

I got my Mini of Hawaii T-Shirt today!
This is one really good looking shirt!

Boy do I look great! I am going to go for my evening walk in about 20 minutes.

I've got on my Chili Red T-Shirt with MINI of Hawaii on the back, White Capri pants, White Tennis shoes and my Red MINI bucket hat (the solid red hat with the pocket logo).

I am very happy with how this T-Shirt looks on me.
Some clothes do not fit everyone well, but this shirt does!

Everyone go down and get your's because they are going to go fast!

I guess I "COULD" ask the bigkahuna if we could share a keg at the next movie event but I'm not sure the customers will want intoxicated Sales advisors staggering around the showroom blissfully marking down the prices.
We are already getting funny looks from the BMW general manager that stops in to check on our movie event. I made him a custom English Toffee Latte with light whip cream to distract him. I think it worked because he did not wander back. I have my trusty Starbucks Barista Espresso maker and I fresh ground Peets Major Dickason's Blend whole beans. Good stuff. I made about 12 custom orders that day. A major caffeine buzz- I'm a pusher I admit.

I am excited to wear my new MINI tank-top to the grand opening of the MINI Mart tomorrow. This might be the only chance to get a free t-shirt (if you are among the first fifteen MINI owners on the scene).

Yesiree. I think you can get the free T-shirts and maybe they will bring some tanks (some will be worn by models!)
And since i have filled up on petro twice at this Mini mart-I will warn you that they are seeling fuel at $0.10 cheaper than the sign out on the street says. I think they will kick off the event about 9am.

As pink as your tank? Oops. A bit too much sun perhaps?
That is the whole problem with Hawaii, it's too darn
Sunny for it's own good.
So if you are tanked:
Stay out of the sun the rest of the weekend.
When showering try cool water set on gentle
For the skin try Aquaphor ointment or light olive oil.
Get some rest and tylenol for pain if needed.
Ouch!

I think she did use sunscreen but not enough of it or just too long out there getting exposed.
>>Ah minehune, always the Doc. Good advice! I didn't know about the olive oil!

Yup, light olive oil works as a lubricant and lotion. Mostly after a burn of any type the skin is angry, inflammed
and doesn't tolerate much. So a light lubricant to prevent drying is helpful. The easier it goes on the better.
When you were in Hawaii last trip, did you get burned? Ouch!
It's common- sorry to say. That's why you tint your windows so your interior of your MINI doesn't get sunburned!

Dr. Minihune,

Extra virgin olive oil, or light? Infused with lemon, garlic, or rosemary?

What about regular moisturizer?

MINIangelD (who also got a bit toasted ... didn't realize I'd be standing around in the sun for 1.5 hours)

Except for the sunburn, I had a good time. Got some good advice, too, on tinting, from Beastmaster and Kohu'ulaMINI, which I will be following up on shortly. It never occurred to me to reduce the temperature in the car with tinting. :smile:

Also went straight to Wet Okole afterwards and put in an order for seat covers ... decided on the blue hibiscus pattern, for both front and back seats.

And THEN went to MoH and bought another MoH T-shirt, so now I have a blue and a green one. And ordered 2 chrome "Mini Cooper S" license plate holders. I will probably buy just one though, since I figured I might like to keep the "Mini of Hawaii" license plate holder.

Is that extra crispy or regular recipe? Do we need a little "essence" and BAM!

>>Get some rest and tylenol for pain if needed.

I thought it was take two aspirin and call the Dr. in the morning?

I believe it is extra roasted and hurting. Sorry no spontaneous combustion allowed- no BAM please.
Maybe PAM.
