The “all new” MINI Peabody

Headed over to MINI Peabody at lunchtime to meet Richard, also met Chris - both having service work done …

MINI Peabody had their parking lot resurfaced this past Monday, so everywhere is smooth now, with no potholes anywhere - it would make for a great auto-x track ;)

Also, the upstairs “owners lounge” is now finished and fully ready for use, offering satellite TV, wireless internet access, as well as the essentials like coffee!

I also noticed that the convertible MINI rear window failure still occurs …

    Looks good without the parking lot lines…

    Gee, Ian, there are no reasons left for you to ever go home now.

    Well David, there’s still at least one good reason to go home ;)

    Wow I never saw the owners lounge in person, it’s very nice! I guess I’m fortunate to never have seen it.
    Who’s house is that? They must be enjoying the new driveway.

    That’s not a house; originally it was to be the owners lounge & wash bays but now it is just storage.

    I dunno what it is, but it looks like a bland old place to me. They shoulda got someone with STYLE - after all, the MINI is the ultimately stylish car - to fit out the room and give it some atmospohere. Unless, of course, they’re NOT encouraging people to sit around - surely they want us in our cars . . .

    Long Beach MINI here in SoCal could sure use a facelift like this!

    The last time I was there (the lounge wasn’t finished) I was joking with Gary about how close we all are to his office now that the lounge is upstairs :)
    I’ll get to see it all in person on Monday.
