GoGirl Talk

On February 20, 2009, the GoGirl Mini Cooper blasted across the state of Wisconsin in a bona fide blizzard. No matter; the GoGirls were headed for the American Birkebeiner in Hayward, WI, and knew that lots of snow was exactly what the doctor ordered!

In the morning, GoGirl Amy grabbed a cup of coffee …and an ice scraper and headed to the GoGirl Mini. Northern WI was covered in 5” of fresh snow. The sky was blue and the race was on!

GoGirl Linda needed a little history on the “Birkie” so we stopped to learn of the legendary plight of the young Prince Haakon of Norway who, in 1206, was smuggled 50km through the snow on skis for his protection. Here is what the story may have looked like if they had only taken the GoGirl Mini Cooper.


The American version of the race is between Cable and Hayward, WI. The GoGirls drove between the two small towns, between busloads of race commuters and through crowds of excited participants. As expected, people waved cheerfully at the pink GoGirl Mini Cooper; who wouldn’t?

Here is GoGirl Linda at Telemark Lodge at the beginning of the race, and here she is by a fearsome Muskie at the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame near the finish line.

Go Girl hit the home page of Digg on February 18th.  We had over 36,000 visitors.

We're Diggin' it!

On January 31 and February 1, 2009 the GoGirls traveled to the land of chilly Port-O-Potties (or Saint Paul, Minnesota as it is more commonly known). CEO and Founder, Sarah Dillon, and GoGirl Arlene had a blast at the St. Paul Winter Carnival “Fire on Ice” Iceboat Race on Lake Phalen. Standing in the snow on a frozen lake, it is hard to think of ice sailing as “the hottest new extreme sport in the world”… but it is!

Boosted by the mild weather and a fine day of racing, hardy Minnesotan’s told the GoGirls about the times they would have liked to have a GoGirl in their purse; and now many of them do! Cheers to the new GoGirls of winter carnival ice sailing!

On January 31, 2009, the GoGirl Mini Cooper was spotted checking out the throngs of crowds at the City of Lakes Loppet. This event is a cross-country ski festival featuring the beautiful trails and lakes of Minneapolis. With 46 degree temps in January, the GoGirls knew this race was the place to be!

GoGirl Sarah toured Lake Harriet, Lake of the Isles and Lake Calhoun, waving at skiers and onlookers. People all around the city pointed and waved at the Go Girl mini!
