Grand Opening MINI of Loveland

MoL has officially set their two opening dates. The first is the soft opening, which is Monday April 5th, and then the Grand Opening Thursday May 27th. Club members should plan on going to the Grand opening if they have it available in their schedule, but select the date that works best for you. Both dates are now posted on the calendar.

GrandOpening - Calendar sign-up for May 27th

I will be at both. Drove by there today and they are working on the outside of the building. Glass is in and the lots are paved. I would guess that most of the interior is cranking also.

theinside is 98%done. they had the crew from Germany lay the tyles in the shop last weekend that was the last big thing that had to be done. All of teh fixtures and furenture is across teh street taking up 2 bays in the service department. They will start getting that put together and moved over sometimes next week. The pree ordered cars are watting in Canada for the word that the bilding can be ocupied. So it is getting done fast.

The nice part about MoL is that it is right off of i25, just several miles north.

Looks like I'm gonna attend both, finally time to meet a few people. Plus this will be where I go from here on out I think, Schomp is just a pain to drive to from Westminster in a rush hour situation.

I live in Thornton and am always looking for MINI people to hang out with, Maby we could meet-up when I get home in 2011? Sonic on federal on friday nights is the big car guy hang out but I am prety much always the only MINI

Ah yes MINIs in the smow never under estimate the power of cuting the ASC off and using the Ebrake to turn Once you get the hang of it its a blast to do
Or you could just take 287(but whats the fun in that)

__Okay um, what time do they open?__ Are you guys that are signed up for this event going to go when you have time in your day or will we all show up at once. I missed the Ground Breaking but I have been by there to know where it is.

I have the same question. What time are people thinking of getting there. If I come over after work it will be 5ish, but if I know of something happening sooner I can make plans.

They want to take some of the cars for a drive up to fort colins Saturday after work. Around 5ish. if anyone would like to join the drive and show the new MINI's what to do please come along. I am going to double check the time tomorrow. I dont know yet if Baby and I will be on that drive. Saturdays even though short are very bissy. But i will see everyone Monday.

Just got this as many who have registered at MoL's site may have gotten this too. Monday between 5 pm and 7 pm is when they would like the club to be there, but anyone is welcome all day long too. Also just a reminder, this is the soft Opening, the Grand Opening is supposed to be May 27th.
