I thought AMVIV 6 was a tremendous success.  Being a native to Las Vegas and participating in many car show events in years past, this was one event that we had no idea even existed until George Marsh from SCMM.org had casually mentioned it to us, which in retrospect I was glad he did. We had never seen such an awesome gathering of "Die Hard" Mini Cooper enthusiasts.  Once arriving at the parking garage of the Palace Station Casino in Las Vegas we drove up to the 4th floor, immediately you can feel the atmosphere change, and in an instant all you can see was row after row of Mini's, Mini's and More Mini's; in every color, every upgrade and every size you can imagine.  I was completely blown away.  Everyone there was extremely nice and quick to describe their love affair with their Mini.  This event was more than a car show; it was truly a gathering of a unique sub-culture catering to everything MINI.  We were fortunate enough to have been a vendor here, amongst all the other specialty vendors attending this event.  We seen everything from MINI Cooper Ankle Socks, Greeting Cards, Vintage Memorabilia, to ZippeeShade Sunroof Shades exclusively for MINI's (sorry a shameless plug) and even a vendor selling engine upgrades and installing them on the spot.  Yes, I must admit, we got caught up in all of the hype and had Way Motor Sport install a Supercharger Pulley on my 2003 MCS, while my wife purchased MINI Cooper ankle socks and matching pin from CoolMiniStuff.com.  We had a blast. 

We can't wait to do it all over again.  By Saturday we were a little sad  that it all was coming to an end.  We are very thankful to everyone who visited the ZippeeGear.com booth and supported our vision, the feedback we received was incredible.  As for AMVIV 7 we will definitely be there.  I want to congratulate Larry Simpson and the rest of the crew at Sin City MINI Club for doing such an awesome job organizing this event and activities.  We look forward to AMVIV 7 and we will definitely be a participating vendor in future events for many years to come.
