MINI of Murray has motored down the street a bit into a new facility at 4767 South State Street in Murray, Utah. To celebrate the move, along with the 10 year anniversary of MINI in America, they will be holding a grand opening party Thursday, June 7th from 5 to 8 p.m. It sounds as though it will be quite the event with valet, red carpet paparazzi, wine and beer tasting, food and more food, and prizes galore (according to their Facebook page).
With the growth in popularity of the Mini Cooper brand the next step for this Salt Lake City car dealership was its own dedicated facility for sales, service and accessories. In this new facility they will be able to stretch out a bit with the full line of MINIs including the hardtop, coupe, convertible, roadster, Clubman, Countryman and the John Cooper Works.
The first U.S. Mini dealership opened in San Francisco in 2002 amid some critics who said the Mini brand didn't stand a chance in the States. Ten years later the premium small car from BMW is still going strong.
Take a look at this video to see the progression of the new building construction over the last few months. Congratulations to MINI of Murray on the brand new home of your own!
We are really looking forward to this exhibit at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts!
"Speed: The Art of the Performance Automobile" will be opening at the UMFA on the University of Utah campus June 2nd and will showcase some of the most beautiful automobiles in the world.
A collection of vehicles that are impressive for both their performance prowess and their style, these automobiles, many of them one of a kind, should prove to be a great draw throughout the summer for Utahns and any car enthusiasts visiting the Salt Lake City area.
Some of the vehicles on display include:
- The Mormon Meteor III - A car that set more long distance land speed records than any other car in history. This vehicle, driven by Ab Jenkins, was the last Duesenberg ever built.

- A Ferrari 375MM owned by Ingrid Bergmann and Roberto Rossellini
- A 1957 Jaguar XK-SS roadster - one of only 16 built and this one originally owned by Hollywood film star Steve McQueen.
- 1952 Chet Herbert "BEAST III" Streamliner - This Chrysler Hemi powered streamliner was the fastest car in America in 1952, topping 235 miles per hour.
Take at look at this video from KSL to get a peek at some of the other vehicles as they were being loaded in to the exhibit:

ZoomAutosUtah.com spent some time at the Utah International Auto Expo at the South Towne Expo Center in Sandy, UT. Presented by the New Car Dealers of Utah and produced by Motor Trend, the Expo is a great place to see 2012 model vehicles from auto makers all in one place. You can see vehicles like the 2012 Hyundai Veloster, the 2012 Chevrolet Volt, the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro and the pre-production 2013 Mazda CX-5.
We talked with Jeff Miller, General Manager of Mark Miller Subaru about the all new 2012 Subaru Impreza - at 36 mpg, the Subaru Impreza gets the highest gas mileage of any all wheel drive vehicle on the road. We also were able to get an up close look at the all new luxury plug-in electric Fisker Karma. Fisker is the new American car maker producing the Karma, a beautiful four door sports car that has a 50 mile battery range and is able to meet global safety and emission standards without modification.
Mike Bailey of the Utah Miata Club talked with us about his love of the Mazda Miata and also let us know about the Miatas of Moab event coming up this spring in Moab, Utah. Camp Jeep kept the crowds entertained with rides in a Jeep through an obstacle course demonstrating the Jeep's on road and off road capabilities.

The Utah International Auto Expo is going on at the South Towne Expo Center in Sandy, Utah, through Monday, Jan. 16th.
It's time for the Utah International Auto Expo - beginning tomorrow at the South Towne Exposition Center in Sandy, Utah. The Auto Expo is billed as the "largest new car display in the intermountain area." It's a great opportunity to see lots of 2012 model cars, trucks, SUVs and hybrids all in one location and, perhaps even more fun, to get a sneak peek at several pre-production 2013 models on display at the show. If you'd like to do more than just look, Ford, Chevrolet, Buick and GMC will all have vehicles on site and available for you to take on a test drive.
Craig Bickmore, Executive Director of New Car Dealers of Utah, the association that owns and operates the show each year, says "this event tops anything we've offered in the past."
The million dollar Exotic Display promises to be a popular area of the Expo. Exotic vehicles on display will include an exclusive Ferrari V12 and the much anticipated Ferrari FF as well as the Maserati Gran Turismo MC and Maserati Quattroporte. I'm especially looking forward to getting a look at the all-new Fisker Karma being showcased by Fisker of Salt Lake.
Jeep is pulling out all the stops with a huge interactive experience called Camp Jeep. The Camp Jeep interactive test track will allow you to experience a Jeep's on and off road capabilities with a professional 4x4 driver at the wheel and among other things allow you to feel the Jeep's abilities going up the 18 foot, 35 degree Jeep Mountain.
It sounds like you will want to bring the kids with lots available for them to do. Children 12 and under will be admitted free on Sunday (Kid's Day) and Monday (Family Day) with a paying adult. Next to the much anticipated Camp Jeep experience, kid-sized Jeeps will be available for children to drive and Jeep is providing a 25 foot climbing wall for kids to climb while waiting for their turn in a Jeep.
Two dollar discount coupons are available from area McDonald's restaurants and for every $2 coupon redeemed the Auto Expo will donate $1 to Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Intermountain Area.

David "Krawdaddy" Davis started taking pictures as a child and almost 50 years later his signature photography of classic and hot rod cars will be showcased in an exhibit this weekend presented by the Butch Cassidy Gang Car Club in Helper, Utah. The car club has been around since the late '80s and David says the Helper community is "a wonderful place for hot rodders." He says he feels an allegiance to them and wants to do whatever he can to support them.
If your are driving through or live near Helper you can see this Art Photography today and tomorrow from noon to 9pm both days (Friday, Nov 18 and Saturday, Nov 19) at Aldy's Speed Shop, 159 N Main in Helper.
