Heads up, tomorrow I am scheduled for an operation, I am currently preparing for this, and will be in the hospital the next few days. I will do my best to answer emails and texts as soon as I return as long as everything goes smoothly. On a side note, it was great to meet some new faces, and see some old at IMM. I was glad I could attend with my son albeit it was a short visit. Shoot me a note if you saw me there. Speak soon Mini Amigos!

Had a fantastic visit with Mike Guido and his wife on their way to IMM Poland. We checked out his 00 Mini, and figured out where his squeaking was coming from... busted knuckle cup metal on metal. I showed him around our town, and Madgeburg. Was surprised how quiet it was last night, and we were able to get a cool shot in front of the Madgeburg Dom. Safe travels everyone, see you soon!

Hello my Mini friends!

I’ll be arriving at IMM a little late Friday, but I’ll be there with the 76 Traveller. Please come by and say hello — I’d love to chat and meet some new faces. I’ll also have a few products with me if you’d like to check them out in person.

With that said, unfortunately I’ll need to head out a bit early, as I’ll be having surgery next Tuesday and need to start preparing for that. I’ll do my best to stay in communication with everyone, but there may be some delays in email responses over the next week.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at IMM!

Listing for a long client of ours, and downsizing his Mini Collection.
