Hot Rods and Customs???

That’s right Borrani is getting noticed and gaining a name within the hot rod community and custom market. A&M Garage, LLC, Borrani Americas’ Dealer has been working over the past year with top custom shops in the TX market to design wheels to outfit their cars. Ryan Cochran of Atomic Industry Network decided it was high time to learn more about Borrani, their products and dealers. Click here to read Ryan’s article in the Jalopy Journal. 

Now that’s a Car!

Electric Blue, yellow racing stripe and Borrani wheels...is this really a MINI Cooper? Only if you’re Luther Shields. Luther, Borrani Americas’ Ambassador, has a MINI that is as unique as he is. See his write-up in MC2 Magazine.

We first met Luther at the Mini’s in the Mountain’s event two years ago in Colorado. He made an impression that stuck with us.  Since then he has been traveling around the USA in his MINI visiting as many MINI events he can manage into his schedule. Over the past few years he’s won 12 Best of Show, 51 1st places, 22 2nd places and numerous awards. It’s likely that if you attend a MINI event this year you’re going to see Luther and his amazing car. If you do see him introduce yourself - he’s always interested in meeting other enthusiasts and seeing their cars.
