Episode 52: Washing Off the Winter Funk & Rolling into Spring with MINIs
In this episode, we dive into some of the latest chatter from the wild world of Facebook MINI groups—where the advice is free, but the entertainment is priceless.
Then, we kick off a brand-new Car Care Series to help you wash away that winter grime and get your MINI looking its best. Whether it's road salt, mystery gunk, or just the regret of not washing it sooner, we’ve got tips on keeping your MINI’s paint and interior fresh and clean.
Next, we roll into some exciting club news! We’ve launched a couple of new casual meet-ups:
☕ Second Saturday/Sunday Coffee Runs—because MINIs and caffeine go together like twisty roads and sport mode.
🍦 Third Thursday Ice Cream Runs—because any excuse to drive our MINIs is a good one (and ice cream is a bonus).
We also gear up for MINIs On The Dragon (April 30 - May 4), the legendary event where MINIs take on 318 curves in 11 miles. We’ll break down the daily activities in the next few episodes, so stay tuned for all the details on the best drives, meetups, and events.
And finally, we share a heartwarming story of a new MINI owner who didn’t exactly get her car under the best circumstances but had an unforgettable first MINI event experience. Spoiler: The MINI community showed up in a big way, and she left feeling like part of the family.
So buckle up, hit play, and let’s motor into spring together!
As always, Motor Safely, and don’t forget to wave!
