TGGRRR (Ali) Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Posted February 19, 2014 For those of you that came to the dinner we made a great impression. Here's the nice note I just got Ali -- I really enjoyed meeting you and your fellow club members last Saturday evening. I travel the country quite a lot talking to MINI Cooper dealerships and clubs. Your welcoming hospitality was exceptional and I felt very "at home" being with everyone. I hope many of your members will take the opportunity to visit Passport MINI on this Saturday, February 22. My dear friend and business associate, Roger Brusnahan, and his daughter, Megan, (one of my One-on-One student) are planning to attend. We are currently building a track day/racecar MINI Cooper for Megan at our shop here in Columbia SC. Passport MINI would be impressed if as many of your members as possible could attend this event. And you could take the opportunity to express the Club's desire to become better and safer drivers through the Phil Wicks Driving Academy on-track curriculum. Hope to see you all at a Phil Wicks Driving Academy event at Summit Point. Cheers!
