Trying to Bring MINI to the Ark-La-Tex

Hello all I just wanted to share a Link I created to a page on facebook. Me and a friend of mine that works for a local (other) car dealer are trying to bring MINI into our area. His boss basically told him that if he can prove that our area can support a MINI dealer, that he will push the issue with his Boss. So I am calling to all MINI drivers in North Louisiana, Southern Arkansas, Southeast Oklahoma and East Texas to come visit and like us on Facebook.

Let me know if the link doesn't work.

Good luck! You might run into a small issue with the fact that the Parker Auto Group is opening a new MINI dealership in Little Rock in the spring. Little Rock is centrally enough located I imagine most MINI drivers in S AR and SE OK could just as easily go there. For myself, I'm super excited that they're opening that dealership because it means no more long, awful drives to Memphis (once I get my Countryman, that is).

Uhmm driving to Lttle Rock would be a FUN drive. Even if we cant get a dealer in Northwest LA I would still like to get a group started.

I believe that there are a lot of people that want a closer drive. But I suppose we just need to wait or depend on the internet.

This thread made me think about mini dealerships around me, Only 12 dealerships within 78 miles. It is So Cal, I bet you will have more pick up trucks within 78 miles of you.

TO be honest I think I would rather be back in Texas and driving to find a dealer,

Didn't lose anything in So Cal, but I did find my wife there in La Palma. But your wrong, its that many truck dealers within 50 miles of me. But I am glad that I dont have that many close to me.

There are two in the state of Colorado. The third closest to me is 320 miles away.
