MINI Beachcomber concept
Posted by Chris Ordon in BMW Mini, MINI info on 2010/01/19
I had a great time at the 2010 NAIAS during press time. I got to experience the press conferences automakers were having, especially MINI. At the MINI press conference, they revealed the MINI Beachcomber concept. I did take photos before their press conference, which was at 2:45 pm and I got there at 7:00 am, and after the press conference when journalists were there and I have to say the Beachcomber concept looks great. Have a look for yourself in my gallery and you tell me what you think. This car is based on the upcoming MINI Countryman which will hopefully be released in the US this year for the 2011 model year. I’m almost thinking of ordering the Countryman instead of the Clubman as My Next MINI. I’ll keep you posted on what I know, till then, Motor On!

2010 Detroit Auto Show

The big news that I received yesterday is that this year, thanks to Craig at love:mini (a new magazine all about MINI’s) I will be attending the 2010 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) during the press days. That’s right, Craig hooked me up with a press pass for the 2010 NAIAS; thanks Craig. The main reason that I’m going there is that MINI is going to have the Beachcomber concept there. I’ll be there taking pictures and will learn more about the concept and hopefully the upcoming crossover. I will also see if they know anything about the refresh for 2011 model year. From what I heard is that the twins won’t be there (the coupe and roadster) and that’s too bad cause I was looking forward to seeing them. This is my first time going to a press event, so it’s gonna be fun!
I will also attend the show when it’s open to the public, to go with my friend Andy.
Motor On!
