Ivan visited the office yesterday, in his new (to him) ’06 JCW MINI, to get his auto-up-windows circuit working again (Ivan has one of the original three circuits and it hadn’t survived the journey from MINI to MINI, but we fixed it) – so there were four MINIs in the parking lot for a while!
Ivan’s new MINI is nicely equipped in Hyper Blue with aero kit and tan interior, and loaded with just about everything (except nav, he says!) …
Enjoy, Ivan 🙂
Herb Chambers MINI of Boston will once again support MINIsOnTop and our charity fund-raising, with another donated two year MINI lease (previous years support: 2005 – pickup, 2006 – pickup, 2007 – pickup).
To celebrate the launch of the MINI Cooper Clubman, Herb Chambers MINI will be providing a MINI Cooper Clubman lease (two years, 10,000 miles per year):
The car is well spec’ed in Lightning Blue with Silver roof/mirrors/C-pillars, Pacific Blue colorline / Piano Black interior, equipped with Cold Weather Package, Multi-Function Steering Wheel, Sunroof – a beautiful car with a sticker price of almost $23,500; maybe yours with the purchase of a $25 raffle ticket!
Raffle tickets are available at Herb Chambers MINI of Boston, or by mail from MINIsOnTop, PO Box 617, Essex, MA 01929 (please include your email address!); tickets will also be sold at MINIsOnTop (June 27/28) and you don’t have to be present to win (see MINIsOnTop for more details)
MINIsOnTop has chosen to support two charities in 2008: The Mt Washington Observatory will receive 6.288% (honoring the mountain’s elevation) of the total raised with the rest going to support the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of New Hampshire. See the MINIsOnTop website for more details.
I also want to take the opportunity to welcome Herb Chambers MINI new Motoring Manager Giovanni Tosti, replacing the wonderful Kerry Masone (who will now spend more family time at home!); I met Giovanni today and he seems to be the perfect replacement – very enthusiastic about MINI, just like Kerry, having worked at Prestige MINI from the MINI launch back in 2002 (although he took a non-MINI sabbatical for a while!)
I’m sure Giovanni and many of the Herb Chambers MINI team will again attend MINIsOnTop this summer – look out for them and say “thanks” for their support of MINIsOnTop 🙂
Many months from now, the weather will be warm and more than 200 MINIs will ascend Mount Washington as part of the sixth annual MINIsOnTop event (this year, June 28th). But right now, the weather “on top” is rather colder and windier!
The Mount Washington Observatory has a number of webcams which right now are showing beautiful clear sky views – I captured these views, from the observatory deck, and looking north to the Presidential Range:
