Press Release Body = Nevada City, CA - June 15, 2007 - Mini Mania, Inc.(tm), the
market leader in distributing and manufacturing lifestyle products and high quality
performance aftermarket parts for the \"classic\" Mini(tm) and BMW MINI Cooper(tm)
automobiles announced today that Mini Mania has accepted an invitation to
participate in Nicole Racing Japan Co., LTD's 30th Anniversary Celebration on 29
June, 2007. Nicole Racing Japan is the exclusive distributor for Mini Mania products
in Japan. Don Racine, owner of Mini Mania Inc. will take exhibition laps in the Mini
Mania race car during the festivities.

Nico Roehreke, founder and President of Nicole Group of Companies has turned his
passion for racing into a major enterprise. Nicole Racing Japan began business 30
years ago as the sole importer for AP Racing products in support of the entire range
of racing and street applications. Nicole Racing Japan is now a part of the much
larger 'Nicole Group' of companies that includes Nicole Automobiles, Nicole
Marketing and Nicole Cars. They not only represent both BMW and MINI in the market
but are the sole importer for Alpina into Japan.

The celebration will be held at the Formula 1 (F1) race track outside of Fuji, Japan
. Fuji International Speedway was established forty years ago and stands in a rich
natural setting with a view of the majestic Mount Fuji. The course length is
approximately 2.8 miles long with one of the longest front straights on the world F1
circuit of almost one mile.

Don Racine will be driving the Fuji circuit for the first time: "I am thrilled with
the opportunity to not only demonstrate the World Class performance of our MINI on
this world class track but am extremely honored to represent Nicole Racing on this
special occasion." Don Racine, who has raced throughout the USA, has been using
racing for the last 30+ years to develop the various products for Mini Mania.

The Mini Mania BMW MINI Cooper S race car was shipped to Japan specifically for this
event. The MINI Cooper S has been one of the test cars used by Mini Mania in its
various product development programs. This particular car has been set up for
endurance racing at various club events in the USA.

Another special guest for the event is a famous Japanese magician who will come with
a camera team from FUJI TV, one of the biggest TV stations in Japan, to do the
shooting for his two-hour special that will be broadcast in July. Over 350 cars and
about 600 people are expected at the event. Nicole Racing Japan will provide
refreshments in the NICOLE Cafe in the pit area as well as on the 2nd floor in the
\"Crystal Room\" with a view of the home stretch.
