Extended xmas break

[illegalhunter]

I heard on the radio to the mini factory is taking an extended break at xmas due orders being 40 % down on last year

As much as it will hit the guys on the shop floor, 'cos who knows if they will be paid over this break, it may help residuals of MINI's, 'cos if there's no production, anyone ordering a MINI from mid November onwards, will have an extended wait.
