Everybody wins on this day, especially your beloved MINI. Have you been driving around all winter and spring in your MINI, with a sack over your head so no one would notice you driving such a dirt bag? Been telling your co-workers that the MINI was just a loaner, and you’d never drive somethin’ that dirty?

Here’s the opportunity to redeem yourself and make the MINI feel much better in the process. Gran Prix Imports has cordially invited us to present a Show and Shine event at their lavish facility in Wilsonville, Oregon. So shine that awesome MINI up, and bring’er on over to the event of the spring to show off.

Not only is this going to be an event to “show your stuff”, but also, what else? Grand Prix Imports is gonna fire up the espresso machine in the mornin’ and the BBQ at lunch, so we can eat, eat, eat, hang out, and eat some more! Oh, but save your drool for the fine exotic automotive machinery on display all over the gorgeous facility (drip bibs provided). If you feel like mortgaging that house or you’ve just come into some sizable extra cabbage…well… maybe you can take home an Aston Martin, Spyker or Ferrari to complement your irreplaceable MINI. See below for all the details!

The weather was beautiful, the cars were shiny, the food was tasty and sharing the afternoon with so MINI great people definetly made my Saturday. I got one of the best mods of all (definelty an inexpensive one) a great T-Shirt from Alta. I am sure that's going to make me go fast. Seeing the smile in Bronson's face after getting a ride in the Ariel...that's defiently priceless. Now I get to hear how much he wants one.
