All the hype in the Mini community right now is centered around the upcoming even in Las Vegas called AMVIV.  It’s truly going to be an epic March in Vegas.  I am so looking forward to my first AMVIV.  After that event comes The Dragon, then MITMs.
This year the Mini In The Mountains (MITMS) team [...]

Stuffing ourselves has become a tradition…and so should be the Post Turkey Day Run with Mini5280.
Today Jacob, my oldest son, and I had the pleasure of running through Denver today with about 10-12 other Minis.  We started out at the old Detailer’s Paradise location on South Broadway.  The group started by working our way through [...]

Since the boys from White Roof Radio took out Friday morning I decided to walk Central Hall again.  Yesterday the Central Hall tour was a little rushed.  Unfortunately I didn’t get to see everything.
Here is a link to the pictures from Friday.  In there you’ll find a video of a sweet sounding BMW.  Another video [...]

Thursday morning was rough.  I caught what I call “The SEMA Flu”.  There is no vaccination for this strain.  However, there is a cure.  Advil, lots of water, maybe a chili dog for breakfast.  I’ll have to try the chili dog thing next time.
Other than being hung, Thursday was pretty awesome.  I spent the day [...]

Matt Adir(Master-Pull) got me trashed Wednesday night…sorry no updates yesterday. Well other than the headache lasted all day, and my inner thighs are raw(from the walking to perverts)
I am uploading some more pictures now. Some of the photos are of Todd Pearson from “White Roof Radio”. Consistently in the top 10 inf the Auto category [...]

Day one of my SEMA trip was filled with luck, good friends and a sweet hotel.
I rolled out of Denver about 4:30 am and arrived in Las Vegas about 3:00 pm.  Before checking in the hotel I stopped at the show.  I wanted to get my Press Pass before the rush in the morning.  Parking [...]

Tonight I’m prepping the blog and some photo galleries for next weeks SEMA show coverage. Many of you know, I was the owner of an internet based off road parts company. During those 8 years I could never find the time to make it to SEMA. This year is different. I [...]

The final estimates are in from the Pavement Gator incident.  State Farm estimated the damage at about $2400.  That did NOT included a new hood.  None of the crumple zones on the hood were moved so I somewhat agree with the decision.
The bottom line is I’ll have $1400 to put toward the fixes.  I got [...]

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 [...]

The local Mini club here in Colorado had a fun event last night. We started out at the Sonic in Thornton(104th & Colorado). As the club filled up the slots the Sonic filled our stomachs with burgers, hot dogs and sweet treats. All these goodies were marked at 50% off for us.

A [...]

This is somewhat related to driving at 5280 feet.

My oldest son is racing in his first Soap Box Derby Race tomorrow in Ogalalla, NE.  I have set up a forum and of course a blog to document the action for the next two days.  If he enjoys himself we’ll be getting him a [...]

In my haste to update last night before getting some shut eye, I forgot to mention the true thrill of the day.  Todd, from the infamous Podcast WhiteRoofRadio<iTunes Link> and MotoringBadges.com got an interview with me.

<insert tongue in cheek>
It took a lot of hard work on Todd’s part, getting through my people, setting up a time, [...]
