Most liked posts in thread: CNBC at MOTD

I was contacted on Feb. 3rd from a producer at CNBC saying they are doing a one hour documentary on the BMW and MINIs. They are doing some of the work in hand with BMW, but thought it would be nice to include something outside of the main coporation, somthing more grassroots. After doing some searching on the internet they found my site www.minisonthedragon.com and contacted me. They should be flying down and arriving on Wednesday and leaving on Sunday.

 

Tell them the only way to arrive at the Dragon is in a MINI. They should rent one at the local dealer / airport, and experience the Dragon in true MINIessence.

 

Yet another good reason NOT to miss this years MOTD. :nonod:

No one near by has MINI Rentals. I've looked quite a bit. If anyone know someone, let me know. With that said, I'm sure our community will find a way to lend them a MINI to drive on the Dragon

 

Well, if they have never driven the Dragon, maybe an experienced driver would be a better option. Don't need them upside down in the weeds with the wheels spinning.

 

Actually, the light bulb just went on and I made a call and I'm 98% sure they'll have a MINI to drive.....details to follow

 

Well if the CNBC guy's are any kind of car people, they're sure gonna have a hard time getting the grin off their faces when they get back to the office.

 

This is such exciting news!!! Much deserved recognition for Snooter and all his HARD work putting this AWESOME event together every year!

 

I'll try not to embarrass the MINI community :devil:

 

Thanks :blush2: , but this event wouldn't be anything without all the great people that help make it happen

We won't be holding our breath on this one

 

Oh man... I don't envy the camera man on that trip down the Dragon. Can you imagine what it has to be like to try and focus on a display screen / eye-piece when hitting 318 turns. I'd hurl somewhere around corner #20!

I'm sure lots of folks are offering, but be sure to let us all know what we can do to make 'em feel at home and a part of the community!

Get them an early AM Chad driven ride!!

 

Just don't let them smoke stogies with Todd first :rolleyes5:

 

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm...stogies!

 

Easy Jeff, settle down old buddy. Getting excited is not not good for your heart. :cornut:

I've seen MINIs for rent at the Atlanta airport, and it's not like there are THAT many major airports significantly closer than that. Just a thought.

 

Got a name and number? I couldn't find anything.

 

I think it is ZipCar at the Atlanta Airport has MINI's available.

 

Unfortunately, I haven't actually looked into them since I'm always going through there for business, but I've seen them multiple times at both the old and new rental car areas there.
