HOT OFF THE PRESS! Just received the information from Richard at Seattle MINI about their upcoming Coupe event!

He said, that if there is enough interest, they might be willing to set up a "night drive" at 9pm…

Help solve The Mystery of the Missing Back Seats at Seattle MINI…

Celebrate the launch of the BRAND NEW 2012 MINI Coupe. An evening filled with test drives, prizes, food, intrigue, a little magic, plus the chance to win The Best Test Drive Ever. Period.

October the 27th from 6 - 9pm.

All you need to is visit www.seattlemini.com/MotorTober-   to pre-register (we would love to know you are attending so we can get the food bit right)   If you are in the market for a new MINI, and attend the event MINI, will give you $750.00 off ANY new MINI before Jan 2nd 2012. That's just a side bonus, we would just love to hang out and celebrate some MINI-ness for a couple of hours.

We hope to see you here!

Just got out of a 3 hour dental visit. Won't be making this.

Hope someone gets a chance to drive the JCW Coupe & provides feedback on the test drive.

Damn.

Gordan, the JCW Coupe was that GOOD! How long was your test drive?
 
Can you give us more specifics about what you liked?
 
Wish I could have made this but I'm still suffering from the Root Canal. 3 bloody hours in the chair!!!!!! My gum still hurt like H*LL.
 
Cheers!

To put it in perspective, I have a justacooper with stock suspension. Hopping into the JCW was akin to hopping into a Formula 1. The power was impressive and the road feel was terrific. The Cooper has a lot of body roll compared to the Coupe with the sport suspension. I was able to get it from rail to rail in hard cornering much faster than the Cooper. That along with the feeling of blasting out of the turns sold me.

Thank you to all of the members who came out to the launch of the 2012 MINI Coupe, it was great to see all your familiar faces. I think we all had a good time.

 

Did you know we have been motoring in Seattle now for two years?  Wow, where does the time go?

 

On a personal note, I wanted to say a big thank you to ALL of the members for supporting our events and our business.  We strive to make your experience with us memorable, with the way you select your new MINI, to our Parts and Service department.  We know we don’t always get it 100% right all the time and mistakes happen, but we always look for ways to get a little bit better everyday. 

 

We pride ourselves in not being in the car business, we are in the MINI business and that my friend’s is why we are here.  Thank you for your passion for MINI and for helping Seattle MINI become one if the top 15 Dealerships in the nation.
