You know when you think of something one day, then you suddenly get reminded of it everywhere you go? Like to other day I was in a sports shop looking for toys and very nearly bought badminton racquets and a shuttlecock (try not to laugh). I decided not to, but the next day on iol.co.za (I go there for the exchange rates at the top of the page) the main picture was of an Asian fellow playing badminton.

Weird.

So anyways, the regular visitors of 2OV (that’s you) will remember the main item on the Morning Spice last week Wednesday featured a Mini. It was the new Mini “Countryman”, to be precise. I mentioned the fact that it was launching soon and that it was the world’s first production vehicle to include Internet Radio as standard. We like that around here, given that 2oceansvibe Radio is SA’s first mainstream internet radio station.

Back to the point of the story – some things seem to reappear in one’s radar, after you introduce it. Check what appeared in my inbox today – directing me to something about Mini. And it’s not a bad vibe, from where I’m standing.

Please enjoy the wording “AKA Freaking Little” – hilarious!

The emphasis is clearly on the fact that you can test drive Minis all weekend (it’s this coming weekend by the looks of things) and, in particular, the convertible Minis (let alone the fact that they’re able to finance them at only 3.99% interest). That’s pretty good going, given that most car dealerships are closed on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

So ja, if you’re pondering getting a new car, you might want to check that out – sounds like a damn good offer.

Personally I’m going to pop in and see if I can possibly get a glimpse of that Countryman model with the built-in internet radio!

Does anyone know if they will have them in yet? Or is this just for convertibles? Suits me either way – a bit of sun on the face as summer approaches wouldn’t hurt!

Go to Facebook and search for “mini south africa” – I think that will take you to their page. Or click the screenshot above, that should also work. Well done, Mini – we like your vibe 😉
