Press Release Body = Nevada City, CA -- August 30, 2007 -- Mini Mania Inc. announces
the entry of a 2005 MINI Cooper S entry to the La Carrera Panamericana 2007 Mexican
road race held between October 26, 2007 to November 1. Driven by the son and father
team of Colin and Eric Herrick, Mini Mania expects their entry loaded with Mini
Mania performance products will be the first late model MINI Cooper S to start and
finish this prestigious race.

The La Carrera Panamericana is a 50 year-old vintage car race with over 100 entries
for this year's event. For only the second year, the Unlimited category will allow
late model cars such as the Mini Mania 2005 MINI Cooper S to participate. The course
is a grueling seven day, 1935 mile route that starts from Oaxaca in the tropical
Southern Mexico and travels north through altitudes rising from sea level to almost
10,000 ft. with temperatures ranging from near freezing into the 90's. The race
finishes in Nuevo Laredo at the Texas Border. The changing environment is an added
technical challenge to the already difficult route.

"This will be a true test of Mini Mania products on this extremely challenging and
technical event," said Don Racine, president of Mini Mania Inc. "Despite the high
attrition rate for the Pan Am, our goal is to finish the race in the top 10 for our
category."
