MINI Takes the States

As everyone may or may not know, MINI USA has changed the former idea of 4 separate venues for MINI Takes the States. As of right now they are planning on a coastal drive, starting in Miami, FL and continuing to Boston, MA, with a few stops along the way. One of those stops will be here in Charleston, SC, with the date tentatively set for June 17th. We, MINI of Charleston, will be hosting an event at Patriot's Point for all of the MINI owners to take a break from the motoring and experience a little bit of Charleston. A few things we are currently planning on will be catering from Bessinger's, "Tony the Peanut Man," Sweetgrass basket making, and even the Redbull MINI Cooper with free Redbull. We would love for everyone to participate in MINI Takes the States; however if you cannot make it to the entire event, it may be possible to motor on down to Charleston for a taste of the Lowcountry!

LET'S MOTOR!

Where did you get this info from? It's not posted anywhere else other than here.

This is from our MINI Regional Directors. They are coming by the dealership this Wednesday to finalize everything. A lot of things have been changing over the past month so nothing has been mass-posted. Once we have everything set I will post more information. Any questions?

My top up button is broken, so I have to leave it down all the time.

But that got me to thinking about another thing...
Why do the call my doctor a proctologist?... Shouldn't they call him an astronaut?
