Itinerary for Sunday March 18th, 2012

As always, this Rally is open to all MINI and Classic Mini Cooper owners!

 

El Paso Meet:

Let’s start meeting up at about 9:00 am at the Starbucks on the West Side on North Dessert Blvd.  It’s in the parking lot of the Albertsons on Redd and the Gateway. The address is: 5650 N. Desert Blvd EP TX 79912

 

Depart by 10:00 AM

We’ll have a about a half hour drive to Las Cruces Via I-10. We’ll meet the rest of the group at the Starbucks on S. Valley Dr.  The address is 1500 S Valley Dr., LC NM 88005

 

Directions from EP To LC Starbucks:

I-10 West for about 30 minutes

EXIT 140, and prepare to make a right on Avenida de Mesilla (28)

Stay on Avenida de Mesilla 28 until you reach Valley Drive. Make Right on Valley.

The Starbucks entrance is near the intersection of Hickory and Valley

 

Depart for Hatch by 11:30

From Las Cruces, we’ll take a scenic back road up to Hatch.  (about 45 minutes to an hour) The back road is narrow, has dips, and sometimes farm equipment.  There’s also a Border Patrol Check Point in the middle of nowhere so we urge everyone to watch your speed and watch for road hazards.

 

When we arrive in Hatch, there should be plenty of parking in the lot in front of and around the side of Sparky’s. It’s a pretty popular destination on Sunday’s, so everyone’s patience will be appreciated!

EPMINIS wants to welcome our new site sponsor, CravenSpeed!  An email was sent out to all of our news subscribers earlier this evening.  The email contained info on the next rally to be held on February 19th and a couple of discount codes that can be used on purchases through the Craven Speed website.

Go check out their site and add some bling to your MINI!

Don’t forget, all attendees of the next rally on February 19th will be eligible to win a $40 gift certificate from CravenSpeed!

February Events for epMINIs and MTTS 2012 update!

Sunday February 19th will be the next Rally! This rally will be sponsored in part by Craven Speed.  They have donated two $40 gift certificates as raffle prizes for our meet up and have some discount codes for us to use as well.  We’ll send an email with the discount details to those of you who get the newsletter and or the website updates in their email.  For the Rally Route, we will head east to Sierra Blanca, then north to Cornudas.  Lunch, photos and Raffle in Cornudas.  Montana Avenue will bring us home.  More details to come!

Wednesday February 8th will be “MINI at the DON” sponsored by MINI of El Paso.  We’ll be at the UTEP Don Haskins center to support the Miner’s Men’s Basketball team as they battle the Tulsa Hurricanes!  MINI of El Paso has a LIMITED supply of FREE tickets available.  If you would like some tickets, please contact Victor at the dealership, 915-778-9381, to reserve your spot!

Who’s planning on doing some MINI Takes the States?  As I understand it, our best opportunity to join the rest of the MINI “Motorers” would be around July 10th or 11th. The route should drive through some cities just North of here! Although the routes are still being finalized, it’s a pretty safe bet you could block out some time from work between July 10th and July 16th.  Official route announcements later this month or the beginning for March.

Working on more things behind the scenes-Hopefully some new t-shirt designs and a non-rally nighttime MINI meet-up.  Keep up with our Site and Facebook for details to come!

Accessorize your MINI and save some bucks along the way!

Are you looking to add a little distinction to your MINI?  Need badges, stripes, or new mirror caps?  Wanna save some money?  There are a few promotions going on around the web this week that can help you with all you accessorizing needs!

First up is a very limited 3 day sale (Which will be down to 2 days by the time I get this posted)  The folks over at Moss MINI.com are having a “cool savings” sale going on now through June 9th, use coupon code “cool15″ when you checkout to get a 15% discount on your order.  visit Moss MINI for details!

How about some badges?  GoBadges.com is celebrating its one year anniversary with a special 20% off sale!  We really love these badges and we get lots of compliments on them.  Check them out and make your MINI YOURS!

Outmotoring.com sponsors the WhiteRoofRadio podcast every month and offers its listeners a 5% discount on all of their purchases. But the trick to getting the discount code is to actually listen to the podcast.  The podcast is very informative and keeps you up to date on all things MINI in the U.S. and around the globe.

**editorial note** epMINIs doesn’t get anything out of these promotions, (although now that I say it out loud, I gotta fix that!)  I just thought I would share the info I’m always getting in my mailbox with all our epMINIs followers and friends!
