Had a great morning at the Mini of Loveland groundbreaking while also celebrating 50 years of the Mini.  An excellent turnout with over 30 Minis present.  I even managed to get an interview in with the local press.  I’m really looking forward to having a dealership so much closer.  Schomp has been great, but location wise not exactly convenient for me.

The ceremony involved groundbreaking with shiny shovels, (I really need one of these, somehow I think digging would be much easier with it), and a ribbon cutting with ginormous scissors.  After a quick parade around Centerra there was cake and a raffle.  By the way John, you won a stainless license plate frame.  Maybe your luck is looking up.

John showed up a little later after getting his new NM Engineering exhaust installed.  I must say it looks and sounds great.  Although some of the excitement may have been a little overshadowed by some misfortune for John during his drive up.  I’ll let him expand on that.
