With the [...] Walk into any MINI dealership and on many desks you’ll see the MINI Financial Services calendar. Pictured is the new 2010 edition calendar. Each month’s calendar highlights a different MINI Financial Services program as well as a telephone directory. The Daytona racing season began yesterday with the Fresh from Florida 200, the initial race of the 2010 GRAND-AM Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge (formerly the KONI Challenge). RSR Motorsports, along with Automatic Racing, are very optimistic about the coming season. They have prepared three MINIs, two of which were entered into the race yesterday.

Written entirely in Japanese (except for [...] MINI has offered many styles of pens for sale (more of which we’ll include in this series). But the free promotional ones are much more interesting.

See the [...] I wrote a few weeks ago about RSR Motorsports and Automatic Racing joining forces to build and race MINIs in the 2010 GRAND-AM Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge (formerly the KONI Challenge). The first race is the Fresh from Florida 200 at Daytona International Speedway on Friday, January 29th. The combined teams will be fielding two [...] LET’S RUN OUT OF MILK. Let’s run out of bread. Let’s run out of t.p. Let’s run out of anything so we can run out to the corner and back. Let’s just never run out of gas.
