Saturday, April 28th, 2012

The British Motor Car Club of Southern NM will be hosting their 20th annual British Car Days in the old Mesilla Plaza.  The spectator event will go until about 1 pm that day.

If you would like to cruise up Saturday morning, we’ll be meeting up at the first parking lot at the Outlet Shoppes of El Paso on Woodrow Bean/Trans Mt.  Meet Time will be between 9 and 9:30 am on Saturday Morning. We’ll leave by 10 am. Our route will take us up through Highway 28 straight into Mesilla.

Meet Point from 9 to 9:30 am Saturday April 28th 2012

 

Once in Mesilla, we will have to wing it for parking.  There may be some lots just north of the plaza but we’ll just have to see what the situation is like once we get there.

MINI of El Paso Hosts the MINI Test Drive Takedown event.  Most of you already have a MINI, but maybe you were considering a trade-up?  Or you know how your friends are always asking about your car and constantly saying “I want one too!”  Well now’s the time! Anyone who attends the Takedown and registers at the event will be eligible for $750 off the purchase of any new MINI in stock.  The $750 is in addition to all other incentives.

MINI will bring in some “competitors” cars for the test drive takedown! This will give your friends the opportunity to experience MINI takedown the competition for themselves! There will be live music, food and fun! 1pm to 7pm (mas o menos)

Also, I would appreciate a volunteer to set up lunch reservation for our group.  Lets guess at around 20 people for right now.  If you’d like to volunteer, let me know!

The Humane Society of El Paso will be holding the “23rd Annual Classic K-9 Walk for Animals” At Album Park from 8:30am to 2pm.

One of our fellow “epMINIons”, Judy Ann Ruiz, has asked if anyone would be taking their dog and their MINI to the event!  Judy will be the point of contact for this event and she can be reached at jazzydo@hotmail.com or 915-525-6125.  I know a lot of you love your dogs as much as you love your MINI, so this ought to be a great time for all!

MINI Takes the States Registration is now OPEN*

Registration is “OPEN” as in MINI USA launched the Website this morning.  However, the servers are being SLAMMED so you will need to check it out later. The image below will take you to the site when its functional again!  (www.minitakesthestates.com) The interest in this is very HIGH so I imagine this is going to be one heck of a road trip!

I’m still thinking our group can make July 12th the travel date to ABQ NM.  We can join the rest of the group there as we make our way to Phoenix and LA.  MINI USA has host hotels with group discounts available. Judging from the server traffic, you will probably need to decide a lot sooner than later if you are going to go on this trip and be able to take advantage of the deals.

More details to come!
