Yes, that is MINI Durham's very own Hope Blooms pink MINI that was designed for our client, Kim Gonneau, and her fundraising efforts for the Walk to End Breast Cancer.  After making many celebrity appearances and being the center of plenty of photographs, MINI Durham is giving you the chance to OWN IT.

You might remember this MINI from when I blogged about it here.

Yep!  The Hope Blooms PINK MINI is up for auction on Ebay!  We are hoping to raise some additional funds for breast cancer research through this auction so please support it and buy this one-of-a-kind PINK MINI!  It is a 2009 Cooper that is originally Pure Silver/Pure Silver with a manual transmission.  It has a vinyl wrap done by the amazing guys at Shinzo Media.  They also did the EEMMC Police Interceptor in matte black.

Nice headlight tint!

Come on!  Snap it up!  It's for a great cause and it's such a head turner!

Happy Motoring,

xoxo Christina

MINI Meet North Was a Success!

MINI Meet North, from June 19-21 at Mosport was a success!

On the Saturday of MINI Meet North, MINI Durham hosted a BBQ and show'n'shine. Unfortunately the rain created a change of plans, but we turned it into a competition for most unique and eye-catching MINI. Prizes were awarded to the proud owners and despite the wet weather, everyone had a great time. The MINI Challenge Targa Newfoundland race car was on display in the MINI Durham showroom. It created quite a stir and many were excited to be up-close and personal with such an exclusive car.

On Sunday, MINIs and Minis, old and new, joined together at Mosport for a Parade Lap around the legendary track. It was an amazing experience to drive amongst the Classic Minis with so much history. Afterwards, there was a photoshoot on the hill with all the MINIs and Minis present. The weather warmed up enough to give some of us sunburns and it turned into a great afternoon of MINIs, racing, and the great people who surround both of those things!
