    Posted: March/17/12 at 11:06am

A decade of MINI in America is coming on March 22nd, and it's time to celebrate!
 

That's right, for 520 weeks, 3,563 days, 87,672 hours, and 5,260,320 minutes MINI has been occupying U.S. soil. We went from one model to six, started a revolution of small, created a passionate community of owners, and put 400,000+ MINIs on the roads along the way! Thanks to you, our owners, for making 10 years of MINI in America so monumental.

 
And what would be a celebration without a cake?  Specifically CUPCAKES!  We have partnered with Cupcake Royale. On Thursday, March 22nd Seattle MINI  is inviting you to enjoy a very special cupcake on us.  Just visit one of Cupcake Royale's 5 locations in the greater Seattle area (Capitol Hill, Ballard, Madrona, West Seattle, and Bellevue) and show them the key to your MINI to get a free Seattle MINI Limited edition cupcake (comes with real pieces of torque, so you know it's gonna be good)!  Some of their stores open early so check the hours for the closest one to you.  This is while supplies last so we'd suggest coming early . Cupcake Royale’s website is www.cupcakeroyale.com for hours and locations.

 

We will also be celebrating here at Seattle MINI.  We will have Cupcakes, 10 year window clings and some special giveaways at the store.  We’d love to see you!

 

From all of us here at Seattle MINI - THANK YOU.

Richard "Rocky" Stone GSM Seattle MINI.

I'll swing by the dealership that day!  Two MINIs, two different keys, two cupcakes, two window clings, right?

See you Thursday!

Sitting at the dealer right now Kurt.  Getting the "please prevent my car from spontaneously catching fire" recall taken care of.

It's actually quiet, just like a normal day (minus the huge tower of cupcakes).

Todd- did you see any window clings?  I didn't but was too shy to ask.

What did you think of the wrapped MINI?

I asked one person and they didn't have a clue what I was talking about.

As for the wrap, I liked it.  It's YouNique!  Although I can't imagine the rim on the wheel holding up to grime very well.

I'm trying to get the contact info. for the guy that does their wraps.  I have some ideas for my car I'd like to execute on.

HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY, MINI !  BowDown
 
I did get a cupcake and a window cling (one of the last I understand).
It was a pretty low-key celebration when I was there, but the 1967 Classic Mini, decked out in balloons, was even more adorable than usual.
 
Re:  the Orange Wrap. I find it amazing how flawless it is. You wouldn't know that it isn't painted. Even the door jambs are perfect. Impressive work.
 
Cheers!
 
P.S. Did everyone get the email from MINI USA where you find your name among the 400,000 MINI owners? I found mine, but was surprised that there were 4 others with almost the same name - I really thought I was the only one. Wink

Thanks to all you guys for a fun moment in time.  We unleashed 700 cup cakes across Seattle and only had 60 return.  Damon got in his Clubman at 9pm an drove around town giving the 60 away.  He's the only one who could get away with that, I would have been arrested for sure. 
 
As mentioned in another post, i have 'some' clings left.  i you would like one please drop your addess to Richard@Seattlemini.com and ill do my best to get you one.
