Press Release Body = Nevada City, CA March 5, 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 has announced they are now shipping a 'Stage 2' kit for the first
generation BMW MINI Cooper S that exceeds even the performance of the recently

apart from the crowd.

provide owners with a highly tested upgrade path for the BMW MINI Cooper S," said
Mini Mania founder Don Racine. "Our 32 years of Mini tuning experience have allowed
us to put together the right combination of parts that result in the best of both
worlds of performance for your dollar along with improved drivability. While all
components have been race track tested, the package has also been optimized for
everyday street application."
