SOUTH BAY MINI TO SELL LIMITED EDITION FIREBALLED! HOLLYWOOD DESIGNER MINIS

(Torrance, Ca.) Top rated BMW/Mini Cooper Dealer, SOUTH BAY MINI has just completed a deal with Hollywood
Studio Car Designer, Fireball Tim and FIREBALLED! RACING,TM INC. A deal to design and produce Limited Edition,
Hollywood Themed and Authenticated Fireballed Minis. Yes, Fireball Tim is at it again, folks. The crazed “Hollywood
Car Designer” and his team have inked with South Bay Mini to create one-of-a-kind Coopers with everything from
wild race graphics to whatever you can imagine in performance. Minis on steroids! All that, along with a complete
wish list from Mini’s uniquely designed brand of factory items.

In case you don’t remember FIREBALLED!, They’re the guys that launched Minis into the stratosphere with the
MINI USA sponsored M600 Flamethower last year, creating the “World’s Fastest,” bulking 500+ horsepower and
scorching an 11.26 ET at the IDRC Finals in Palmdale. Yes, in a Mini. They’ll be back with that one soon, but for
now, the exclusive Los Angeles Area deal with General Manager/Vice President of South Bay, Peter Boesen was
struck with the goal to be selling the first of the numbered vehicles by July. South Bay Mini/BMW will also be
the home of the M600.

“South Bay Mini became number one in the Western Region just last year,” said General Manager/VP Peter Boesen,
“Number one in the first year of operation! This partnership with Fireballed! Racing will take our fun to a whole new
level of adventure.”

Much like the unique style of putting your Mini together on miniusa.com, the Fireballed line-up will be truly unique.
With names like SHOCKWAVE, INFERNO, GHOSTTHUMPER and FURY, the line of Hollywood Studio themed Minis will
sure to rocket off shelves just like die-cast cars. And they’re about the same size, too.

FIREBALLED! RACING, INCTM will also introduce their flagship Auto Attraction, the FIREBALLED! STUDIO•SHOPTM
where truly crazy things will happen. From MovieCar Creations, Extreme Tuner experimentation and South Bay
Mini builds, to RC Racing and the Fireballed Speed Shop. They’ll even house what they’re calling “The Jurassic Café”
and “The Chocolate Bar” enticing visitors with weird chocolates from around the world. (Fireball Tim’s addicted.)
The “Attraction” will be situated next door to South Bay Mini and will also be the headquarters for a variety of film,
radio and TV related projects. From cartv.com to high-end Podcaster White Roof Radio.

“Hooking up with SOUTH BAY MINI is truly revolutionary.” said Hubie Fuh, Executive Vice President of FIREBALLED!
RACING, INC. “Where else can you find innovative design, unique performance, tons of chocolate, and lots of cool
MINIs under one roof?”

South Bay Mini has become the “Dealer to the Stars” by securing Fireball Tim Lawrence, Hollywood Studio Car
Designer and his group, along with showcasing four night time roof-top concerts. And since they don’t plan on
stopping until they are the Number 1dealer in the U.S., expect the Fireballed Minis to burn up the pavement
this summer.

It says nothing about what you may be getting, but it screams dealer markup.

Now, would I do that to you guys? Have I been reduced to a sticker slapper? This deserves a bit more cool info...

So, here's the deal in a nutshell. The cars will be comparable to the GP in performance. I can't say exact horsepower yet, but It's kinda like a GP with back seats...

Performance will include Pulley, Fireballed ECU, Exhaust and a few other thingies to make it speedy. If we make 216, wups. The dealer is only comfortable in making something as fast as the GP, which is cool, but later the hp will grow. But if I put EVERYTHING in, you guys wouldn't have fun modding your cars to suit you! So, there's still room to go out and buy more stuff. And since I don't sell everything, there's lots of good tuners out there with neat items. (I like Alta, btw).

VHP, as usual will be fun. Yes, there will be graphics, but unless people want to pay 50,000 for a Mini with a custom paint job, they will be the highest quality 3M available with an unlimited lifespan. And the best designs that I can come up with. But more than that, there will be numerous unique CF pieces, Icepick Wheels on Performance Tires, Wilwood Brakes, and many interior enhancements. (Shift ****, headrests, custom floormats) Now, each car will be different. That's the main thing. All movie inspired.

So, hopefully, those that like Minis will like these. And if they don't, they can always buy a Yugo. Hmmm, there's an idea.
