William Race Alley
Mini Motoring Advisor
Ferman MINI of Tampa Bay
31320 US Highway 19 N
Palm Harbor, FL 34684
Born in Kirkwood, Missouri, I've lived in Florida for the past 6 years. Having been doing automotive photography for 5+ years and worked with Embry Riddle Aeronautical University's Formula SAE team, as a apprentice mechanic, and now auto sales, one might say I'm somewhat of a jack of all trades in regards to the auto industry. The reason I feel this is important to mention is that I want people to know that I do what I do because of my passion for cars. From my middle name coincidentally being Race, to my hobbies, studies, and profession, there's not much of a better way to describe me than as a car enthusiast through and through.

You all , especially you Matthew , have always had eye contact wth me , always have called me Mr Harper . I jest , due that you still sir operate with the enormous grace , understanding, passion and superb patience . I wanted to Thank you for the extra efforts today in help making this happen but also I felt the real concern in taking care of my vehicles if not for word , a hand shake, or verbal agreement , but just in the complete regal style as a professional gentleman that yourself , Race and Paul demonstrate too me each and every time. I appreciate the honesty , the integrity but most of all , doing the right thing. I know these words will have some good impact but it is in the actions , and in the reverence in service you all provide. I look at each of you and know this is not a job to you or for you . It is a position in true responsibility , and with this comes great honour and trust . Each of you , every day make this connection with anyone , I am in gratitude for all of your anchored devotion .

Please take pride in who you each are , I am appreciative of you all and I have a very HIGH caliber for each of you . Also, please share this with others . I would not even mind if you framed this . You see, I am private , no social media , no website . Cuz, I am still a southern country boy , that still believes , I do not have to do this to let others feel and know how valuable they really are , each day . You see Ladies & Gentleman , this is what real service is , taking the time, listening , purpose in the moment . . . You guys again, I take trust in the operation and safety each and every time, I get in my car , cuz I know I take care of it with you all. Being in three major accidents , I have and feel this trust without any shadow of a doubt at all. This sir , is why I care . Thank you to all at MINI & BMW for always , taking care of me . ( why I always make it a point to come in visit , say hello & shake hands ) SO , Thank each of you for being who you are and what you do , each and every day .

A very pleasant experience with Race Alley from start to finish. We ordered a special edition JCW and Race did a great job of locating the car and keeping us updated on its arrival status. He made the purch finish. We ordered a special edition JCW and Race did a great job of locating the car and keeping us updated on its arrival status. He made the purchase process as easy as possible and it was nice to spend time with a fellow gearhead. Jeffrey Walstrom in the Finance Dept was great as well. We had worked with him before at another dealership and we were happy to work with him again. We pretty much buy a new car every year. Race and Jeffrey made this buying experience go smoothly. The car is awesome, too. More
