Up until now however, MINI Cooper lovers with a need for more than two doors or even a little bit of trunk space, we left dreaming. MINI Cooper has now released the highly anticipated MINI Countryman, and the vehicle made one of it’s very first stops on the MINI takes the states tour right here at Vista MINI.

 Here at Vista MINI, we know how to welcome a new member of the family, MINI or MINI motorist, so we thought it only appropriate to throw a big party! The day started off with some AWESOME food from the famous Miami staple, Latin Burger. South Florida radio station 939 MIA hosted the events musical selections along with games and prizes. And really, what would any MINI Cooper event be with out a Bulldog or 5? The “Adopt-a-Bulldog” foundation brought some their canine friends over to join in the fun.

Around 4p.m. the guest of honor, the MINI Countryman arrived in our show room. Check out the video below to see what the rallier’s thought of the new MINI.

Reading is one of those things that is usually equated with free time, and really, who has free time these days? Reading however is one of those things that we must make time for, even Dr. Seuss knew this, and so did the makers of the Nook at Barnes & Noble.

Some may say that holding the tangible book in your hand is one of those things that can’t be replaced, but neither can your time. So, now that Barnes & Noble has lowered the price of their Nook 3G to $199, why not give it a try?

All MINI enthusiasts know the seemingly endless benefits of driving one of the most unique cars around, and here is just another to add to the list.

If you plan on taking some time this weekend to try out some of the AMAZING restaurants at The Promenade Coconut Creek- of course in your zippy MINI, there are two things to make sure and do. One, shop by and say “hi” to the folks at the Vista MINI tent and then two, take advantage of the preferred parking that is reserved ONLY for fuel efficient vehicles such as the MINI Cooper or Clubman. It’s always nice to fill your car up, then glance over when it click full around $35, only to see your buddy in their SUV’s meter racing towards $70. Now, the perks keep on coming and you get the VIP parking treatment too!

When people are asked to conjure images of south Florida, their first response is usually an enthusiastic ‘palm trees and oceans’.
