    Petrol - £100

    Food & Drink - £50 to £100 for the 2 days depending on how much you eat and drink!
    Tour - £5.

    It's not a cheap trip, however it is and awesome road trip with a load of other MINI's and great people. These are all rough costs, plus the petrol will be shared if you are taking someone with you..

    You are in one big M74/M6 convoy all the way to Oxford, it's brilliant

    You get to Huntley's for breakfast which is FAB (farmhouse just off M6 near Preston)

    You get a tour of the BMW MINI factory (The Mothership)

    An evening nattering away to us nutters over a few beers :)

    & basically the same scenario for the return trip.

    This is THE NMS MINI run & can only be closely matched (although it is a completely different style of drive) by John's Cullen Run which in the past has been run on MINI2

    Yup me & Karen please. Will be planning on doing the usual 'family' visit at the same time.

    Might even consider hiring an 'S' diesel for this one .
    Anybody know who's got them for rental & at what kind of cost?

    that's you added, let me know if there is going to be another as there may be a cap on numbers, but just taking numbers at the moment..
