Our People
Okay, so we opened up this dealership selling MINIs. You want to know why? It was for no other reason than to spread the joy of driving.
That's the same reason we opened The BMW Store, really. And that's been truly successful. But it used to be that BMW drivers flashed their lights at each other to recognize a fraternal appreciation of how much fun it could be just to drive. (That flashing light thing happened so often we worried about burning out the headlights on our demonstrators!)
Somewhere along the line, we stopped flashing lights to each other. Maybe because those of you in BMWs worried about burning out your headlights too! But more probably, we all just got a little older, a little more self-conscious, maybe just more distracted with other things.
So now there's MINI. Maybe we can get it to start all over again, and a whole new generation will rediscover the joy of just getting behind the wheel and going somewhere. Just for fun.
Let's Motor! (It's highly doubtful those headlights will burn out, so flash away!)

Todd Chumbley
Service Advisor
Fax: (513) 527-3294
Todd is the resident jokester of the MINI department. Whether he's pointing out the many ways that red heads are superior to the rest of society or he's doing his best Gloria Gaynor impression under the disco ball in our MINI showroom, Todd is always keeping us laughing. And as he belts out the lyrics, 'I will survive', he's really thinking of you trying to survive without your MINI. That's why he works so hard to get it running and looking as good as new as soon as possible. So next time you're in to see Todd, ask him what color his hair is, or what color every car he has ever owned is. Either way, you'll get the same answer, and that's not a coincidence.
When Nick isn't daydreaming about his dream MINI, an all black John Cooper Works Clubman, you will see him running around the dealership taking care of MINI service customers. Nick's passion for cars and their mechanics make him the perfect advisor for anything your MINI might need to keep its fun personality!
