MINI MotoringHearts Test Drive Event, Jan. 30th

[ragtopday Johnna]

Baron is sponsoring a test drive event this Saturday, January 30th from 9 a.m. to 6 P.M. For every test drive, they will donate $25 to Haiti hurricane relief.

Here's how the MINIACs can help...Baron needs MINI owners to ride along on test drives. If you would like to participate, please respond with the time slot you would like. I will update the first post as quickly as I can to reflect which time spots are filled.

Wow... um... I'd love to do this, but I'm not sure about time! I have a few things on Saturday to get done, but I'd like to do this!

[davester]

I'm good for 9:00 am Sat. ---d

[BLUGOOSE]

The "Goose" is good for 9-12. See you there.-Frank

[DA MINI]

I'd rather drive than ride! Not sure when I can be there but plan to show up.

[Counterfit_Mini]

So we just ride around in the Mini's?

[ksminiman]

do 22 yr olds count? I'm in for 9-12am.

[Minidave]

Yes, are we supposed to interact at all with the potential customers, and do we try to get people to go on test drives or do we wait for a salesman/person to turn them to us? Are we assigned one special car or do we just take pot luck? How's this gonna work, exactly?

I'm good for SAt morning too if you still need someone.....it'll be just like the old days for me....demo-ing and sellin cars!

[ragtopday Johnna]

Morning slots are now full. Anyone for the afternoon?

As for interacting with test drivers and what car you will be in, that is up to Samer. Details upon arrival.

[MiniX4 John]

I'll do 2-4 and at least part of 4-6. I think it will be fun.

[LiLReD1]

I'll be down for the afternoon. I'll be there all day if they want me to, just gotta get some stuff done in the morning. Allison will probably show as well, but I'll let her chime in.

Any chance you can commit to a time slot? There is no one signed up for 12 to 2. Interested?

[LiLReD1]

Should be able to make that perfectly. Think they'll let me ship a box out from there? lol That's all I gotta do in the morning if I get it all done and packed Friday night.

[MiniReD1]

Hi all, I will be there as well with Tim (LilReD1) in the afternoon -so count me IN ! Where ever I'm needed

[Punk_Mini]

Thanks you two! I've added you both to the 12 to 2 spot. You're welcome to stay longer, too.

[Punk_Mini]

Alright I am good to go for the noon to 2pm slot.

[Counterfit_Mini]

I might be able to stop in for a little bit but I can't stay too long...

[DA MINI]

Hope they're not intending to have us demo in our cars, mine's going to be full of tools and such to work on MiniGeoff's supercharger belt after the event.....

Nope, one of the shiny new ones...like yours, only without all of the tools and such.

See some of you tomorrow. Thanks for helping out with this, y'all. Should be fun!

[LiLReD1]

Our cars are so dirty... this is almost embarrassing!

[Counterfit_Mini]

You should see my Mini. My boot is no longer blue.. It's brown...

[saturn]

Sorry for the late response but I will be there around 3 pm and would be more than happy to stay until 6pm to fill the gaps!
I've been in school retraining for a new career the past couple of weeks and didn't see this post! Besides, I was just there yesterday getting my last free service @ 35,553 miles and was gabbing it up with Mary and having a good ol' time. So if someone on their way there sees this, pass along this info to Johnna! Much appreciated!

Frank,Minidave,Don,Tom and myself were there from 9-12 and there were no customers in the store. We test drove the shiny MINI's until they were dirty. Then we had pizza and watched basketball on TV. I had the oil changed in Stubby while we were there. Frank bought a Rubbish bag. It was fun visiting with Liz and Sammer. Afterward, we went to Geoff's house to install a supercharger belt using the new tensioner tool that belongs to the club. That went well until we tried to start the MINI. The battery was dead due to the fan running until the battery was completely discharged. Oh well, it was a fun day----
