OAKVILLE, December 5, 2011 – Local TV personality Melinda Estabrooks (Host, CTS) recently encountered some bad luck when a concrete truck ran a red light, striking the front end of her MINI Cooper. Her beloved car, nicknamed “Lilly” was unsalvageable after the accident, the front end completely destroyed. The good news is she received a brand new MINI Cooper S from Budds’ MINI Oakville, Southern Ontario’s premier MINI Cooper dealership.
The bad news is Melinda doesn’t know what to name her new car.
In a video recently uploaded to Budds’ MINI Oakville’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/buddsminioakville the owner of the brand new Cooper S describes the accident and how she felt her MINI Cooper saved her life. Then she explains her current predicament – driving around in a nameless MINI.
