MC2 Magazine thinks we're pretty cool

A few months ago I accidentally emailed Barry Brazier, the publisher of MC2 Magazine. He called me up a few days later and asked me about our new MINI rental business out here in Hawaii. He thought MC2 readers would love to hear about us, and asked me to send over some pics of our cars and a little info about us for their next issue. The timing couldn't have been any better. A few days earlier, another Barry (the amazing Hawaiian wedding photographer), had followed us around the south shore of Oahu taking pictures of our MINIs at a bunch of amazing locations. I emailed some of those awesome pics (which will eventually make it to our company website) to Barry #1, and a few weeks later and they gave us a nice little feature article on page 16 of their Nov/Dec issue. Although they put that we were on the Big Island instead of Oahu (don't worry, I won't hold it against you Barry!), we greatly appreciated our first Little Hawaii spread in a magazine.

If you like reading about MINIs, which you probably do since you're reading this, I would recommend you get yourself a subscription to MC2. I've been an avid reader since contacting Barry a few months ago, and am sure to make time for this mag. Their latest issue features the world debut of the long-awaited 2008 MINI Clubman. Talk about one cool car. Give us a year or so, and we hope to have one of these on our fleet (or at least in my garage!)

They escaped the Canadian cold with a Hawaiian MINI

We had the pleasure of renting our chili red Cooper convertible to Pat and his wife this weekend who flew all the way from the far side of Canada: Quebec. They had a blast cruising up to the north shore with the top down, not to mention putting over 150 miles on my car! We hope to see you both again soon.
