If you're here, it's likely that you attended
the 2003 Long Beach MINI Poker Rally! Hope you had as much fun as I did!
I want to thank everyone who came up to me and got the FREE Octane. Every
registered driver also got a free bottle with their gift bag.
If you tried the Octane Re-energizing Gel and felt a little tingly or
warm sensation, I hope that didn't scare you, because that meant IT WAS
WORKING! Because after the tingly sensation, it will just feel COOOOOOOOL.
That's why we say FUEL THE COOL!
Please send us an EMAIL to
let us know that you tried the Octane, and feel free
to send any comments or questions. Or call me toll free at 1-800-420-5955

We are in the midst of launching a new program that will give selected
participants the chance to try some of our super
top secret products. Stuff that only our
staff, or testers have yet experienced. We think it would be fun, and
very MINI-like, to get customers involved too! To participate in this,
just send me an email and
I'll keep you informed when we are ready.
Below are some selected pix that I took from the event. (I didn't take any during the run because I was busy enjoying the drive!) There was music, prizes, a fashion show with some hot models, more food that I could eat, lots of people just enjoying the day, and of course the 50 mile journey around South Bay with multiple stops along the way where we picked up MINI playing cards. Who ever ended the run with the strongest hand won a set of R90 wheels and tires!! This years Poker Rally cost $20 to enter, and it lasted from 11am to 4pm. I belong to the SoCal Mini Maniacs and we got together for breakfast at 9am. Many of the Maniacs actually won some great prizes such as Plasma Boosters, MINI Samsonite luggage, MINI t-shirts, pens, and much more! Oh and did I mention the goodie bag? Besides the free Octane, everyone got a cool Long Beach MINI battery powered fan!
Thank you Long Beach MINI for putting up a fantastic event!
Happy Motoring!!!!

Some pix of Lil'Octane!
Here is Dave, my co-pilot. Dave you were awesome!
So we didn't get a winning Poker hand, but it wouldn't have been the same
without you!
The MINI
FINI bike rack looked pretty sweet.
The Turbo kit from M7 looked pretty good too!
Lil'Octane is almost lost in the sea of MINI's!
A few shots of the models. Facing the sun obviously
doesn't do the models justice, but oh well, you had to be there to enjoy
it anyways!
Did you know Octane Re-Energizing Gel is really
big in the UK? Obviously those Brits know a good thing when they see it!!
Just like our MINI's!
