Re: 2012 Clubman S Hampton

Hopefully these pictures do this car some justice. Of course there is nothing like the real thing but here we go. I am dubbing her "Lady Di" for the level style, class and eligance. I think the name is quiet fitting. Keep Calm and Motor On!!!!!

2012 Clubman S Hampton

Well I knew it would take a special kind of car to pry my hands from my Astro black and lime green hard top and today I found it at Baron while in for recall work. I am now the proud owner of a 2012 Clubman S Hampton. What a beautiful car if I do say so my self. I will post some photos soon and of c...

Re: 2011 MINIs at the Market Show

Ok, 8 July is not an available date anyways. The July dates available are 1, 15, 22 and 29 July. What was the issue with 24 June? We could do Art of the Car in conjunction with this event.

I will see if the weekend after the 4th of July is available 8 July, 2012. After that, I just have to pick a date. Sorry Greg but I can't do the 3rd of June but I can book it if it is otherwise good for everyone else.

I spoke with Deb Conners today about dates. The month of May is already book. There are two dates for June and two dates for Sept, I will list them below. July and August are open, probably for the same reason we don't want those months (to hot). We need to lock in a date soon so we don't miss out. ...

I did prize coordinator for this event in 2010 but not the whole event coordination. I may find that it's mor...

Re: 2011 MINIs at the Market Show

We did not have a MINI's at the Market last year and I would hate to see another year pass without this. If there are no objections, I will coordinate this event. I will find out what dates are still available and pick a date that best suites previous feedback. This is a great event and a good opert...

Re: Shhhhh...Baron Has a Roadster in the Showroom!

I happen to be at the dealer when Samer was backing it in. It is sweet, I must say! I bet it has a nice price tag too. It seemed like it had just about everything on it. Not for sale though and I didn't catch how long it's gonna be there.

I somehow missed that from your first post but now realize you did mention that. Are you coming to the toys for tots run? I'd like to check it out. It looks like a nice install. Looks clean from the dash photo. Great job!

Re: I miss my MINI

Just guessing but maybe the newer models are a little more reliable (I would hope). I only have 36k on mine but have not had a single problem other than the fact that the turbo will cook a hood scoop in about 12 months. At 36k I'm ready for my second replacement. Either way, you know with this group...

Re: Mini Coupe

I am 99% sure that my next car will be a coupe but probably won't be for another year or so. Just turned 36k on mine and still not ready to give it up. Until then I'll live my dream through Dave :D
