International Mini Meet PRIZE SYSTEM PLUS!

This is about a prize for a Mini going to International Mini Meet 55. One so sexy as to make the chesty erectile tissues of certain Mini owners get horribly engorged. It is something that has been done before in concept and there is proof. For VIBE, in the USA wanted to make a big BRITISH splash and used iconic UK names as driver’s details on the rally-style paint-decals of a red, a white and a blue Mini in Las Vegas at the CES one year. They got a hold of a Mini here in Britain (actually a rented one, but I never told you!) and made panels and parts to fit it, to make three distinctly different cars, to dismantle and send the bits to the USA! Black Air, Space and err, well go read it, here: link
So much for the proof.
The point is that the IMM folks link are having yours truly as compere at the International Mini Meet, where we are celebrating the 55th anniversary of the Mini. And as well as the sound off contest that has been running for a decade (and gotten to a high standard at the hands of their own enthusiastic expert judge type, Joe Hunter) they are also giving away an entire audio system and vehicle carpets and boot furniture at the show!
More than that, they are doing the entire install in the winner’s car, before they go home! So someone will arrive in a ‘˜normal’ Mini and go home with one with new boot linings, new sexy fitted carpets, Dynamat underneath and a full three-way stereo audio system (2.1ch) of JL Audio equipment. Headed up by a Pioneer DEH – X8500DAB deck. As you can see, it is a modern radio and so needs a digital twig, in this case by the unsung heroes that are Calearo antenne, also from Celsus ICE, the main audio sponsors.
And that’s not all. This is not just a JL Audio system, it is a JL Audio-Themselves-TUNED system. This means that a fully golden ear-‘˜oled JL Audio UK executive type, one Jon Griggs will be doing the final audio adjustments by science and by ear, in order to make the amp, speakers and subwoofer perform the best they can in the car’s Dynamat-and-carpet-enhanced and damped acoustics.
The IMM organisers want to thank the sponsors, Newton Commercial (the specialist carpeting), Optimise Automotive (boot lining and speaker pods), Dynamat (sound deadening), JL Audio (speakers and amplification and TUNING!), Calearo antenne and of course Pioneer. As well as the folks at Stinger, the cables brand, who are sending the power wires and some sexy RCA cablesAND INTRODUCING STINGER INTO THE UK ONCE MORE! By way of this prize announcement
These are high end RCA cords.
