    At the MINI of Des Moines event, they cleared all vehicles out of the showroom and served beverages and food from an English pub. At the appointed time, they opened the doors and in drove a '64 Mini Woody Wagon followed by a '14 F56 Cooper S. The salespeople were dressed in clothes from the 60s, and a couple of them talked briefly about the features of the new MINI.

    About halfway through the event, they asked everyone to put up their hands if they didn't have anything else to do the rest of the night and drew a winner for two tickets to the opening night of a Broadway show - plus being able to drive the Cooper S in the showroom to the event. (I asked the manager if I could enter the drawing, skip the show and just put about 800 miles on the F56, but he didn't think that was a good idea.) :ihih:

    Instead, I declared myself the Earl of Upshift, so the night ended well. Next time, I'm going for Viscount of Velocity. Being a royal suits me, I think. :biggrin5:

    I think we had nine cars there on Saturday. Nice event and they were busy. Good time to show off their new building too.

    Sadly, finance. The most boring job in the world.
