Brain Porta Sales Manager at Hendrick is looking for some ideas to incorporate the kick off for the 2007 Mini's in February. Do you have any ideas? For instance renting a good kart track for 3 or 4 hours and have the new Mini's there. Some place that we can show the new Mini and ours will be there as back up and maybe free hotdogs, hamburgers, drinks. Some of you with any kind of ideas we would love to hear from you. Don't be affraid to express yourself and lets hear them, put them on here or email them to Hendrick.

 

kart track idea sounds pretty cool

 

Karts sound great to me. I seem to remember a photo of a line of MINIs on a kart track... looked pretty cool.

 

Does Hendrick Mini have access to a skidpan? There can be a static display of '06 Minis along with the new 2007 Mini. The skidpan would also provide a safe environment for club members to learn how to drive a Mini in the wet. I am sure that BMW has some Advanced Driving Instructors, who would be able to provide instruction and guidance.

 

Bikini car wash?
Drive-in movie, Italian Job?
How many clowns can fit in the new MINI contest?
Blindfolded driver with back-seat driver autocross?

 

Brian-
To get the best turnout, you might want to make it a family event (offsite). I have ties to a company that does Inflatable Toys and would offer you a great price on a full set for your event. Let me know what the date is and I will see if I can work out an awesome deal.

Too bad we couldn't block off the streets of Uptown and do some type of parade to show off the new Mini!

 

When some more information is known about the date and time regarding this event, please let us know. Maybe we can have groups from all over the state travel down to Charlotte for the "unveiling".
