Erin O'Dea Q: What do you feel like when driving your MINI? Javier Ulibarri
I am very comfortable in my MINI, it feels safe and handles great. I think my MINI matches me, and represents my creative, adventur- ous spirit. Anyone who gets in the car is impressed at how fancy the interior is. I had a friend say it was like "getting into a space- ship!" I look forward to wrapping my roof and mirror caps in a bold print, to personalize the outside even more. There's so much your MINI can say about you! Javier: In a way, I hope my insurance com- pany is not reading this article, but in another way, I’m hoping they are. I LOVE DRIVING MY CAR! MINIs are like “go‐karts on steroids.”
In a way, I hope my insurance company is not reading this article, but in another way, I’m hoping they are. I LOVE DRIVING MY CAR! MINIs are like “go‐karts on steroids,” and they turn on a dime! My 2017 MINI has automatic and manual sport 6 speed and it is so much fun to drive. I start her o on the Florida Turnpike entering while cruising in automatic, then ip her over to Manual Sport around 60 to clutches 5 and then 6, and she is ying! No matter who’s driving next to me, I believe they think the car is hot, sexy, and that they might even be a little envious. I take enormous pride in my car and the cleanliness of my vehicle. I love for it to always look its best.
I have had a few clients who I referred to Braman MINI and they've been impressed, especially by the great service from Melissa and Tom in particular! People often tell me that I look like I'd drive a MINI, which I think reinforces the brand's reputation for a fun, creative car. And my dog loves it which is perhaps the best compli- ment of all.
Absolutely. As a matter of fact, I receive many compliments when I go to show houses. My buyers who ride with me always love the car. And most of them say that they have never ridden in a MINI Coop before. I remember one homeowner from England told me a MINI COOPER was the rst car he ever owned over 40 years ago. I receive many compliments when I host an open house and park my car in the driveway. More than half of the people that walk in have something nice to say, or ask about the MINI Coop parked outside.
Yes, I'm a MINI driver for life. Come see us at Colorfast Studios, a beautiful tattoo shop in Wellington, and I’ll be happy to tell you more about it!

I know that I am in LOVE with MINI COOPS and I think everyone should try one. If my business booms I might trade up. But either way I’m sticking with Braman. If you’re looking to buy or sell a home today, I am your guy. You can look me up at www.welling- ton oridarealtors.com, and I’ll show you around to see some properties in my MINI!
Q: Do you get many compliments on your MINI?
Q: So, will you stick with the MINI?
ner was, Club Braman member, Kenley Gabriel out of Lake Worth, FL. Kenley made it to the iHeart Music Festival and checked into the beautiful Aria Resort and Casino, right on the Las Vegas Strip where he and his brother stayed in a luxury suite.
Now the night begins! Kenley’s favorite acts to see during the trip were The Weekend, DJ Khaled, and Coldplay. “DJ Khaled kept bringing surprise guest after surprise guest. It was incredible and the crowd kept going crazy!” Kenley mentioned. “I love what Club Braman does for their clients, it really separates them from other dealers and is one of the main reasons I decided to get my BMW from them.” Kenley said. “My favorite event was the 7 series unveiling. They really put on a show.”

Paul Simon
more importantly, for the people we have,” expresses Simon. In his role as Director of Sales, which is more about motivating and mentoring than anything else, he always makes sure his team is o ering the most concise and informative experience possible to its clients. Simon knows that exceptional training is crucial, but
a positive attitude and mindset is what really drives a team to greatness.
That is why his daily goal is to assure the team is at the top of its game. Much like playing golf, to which Simon is devoted in his spare time, which takes focus, patience, and precision. Directing the sales team at Braman is the equivalent of scoring a hole in one—that gratifying feeling of knowing you’ve done your abso- lute best.

business, Friedman still maintains the enthusiasm he’s had since day one. “It’s very gratifying when a customer thanks you and remarks that purchasing or leasing a new or pre‐owned car from Braman was as e ortless and pleasant of an experience they’ve ever had with a dealership.”
Friedman nds it rewarding not only to be a mentor to his team, but to his customers as well, both past and present. “I still have former clients calling me for advice before purchasing a new car,” he says proudly. “It’s a great feeling.”
