    Well just got back from the show :sleepy: very long drive but well worth it!

    You may have heard mini won best car in show no surprises there then! Must say Mini done it really well, the stand itself wasn't much but the Mini's spoke for theirself, no need for flashy backgrounds, turntables or Tracy Island <---(Ford)

    Passport control took your Ministry of Ownership passport which gained you access to a total chillout pad complete with "mini bar" and dozens of laptops to browse the ministry website. From the owners lounge you had access to the V.I.P stand where you could watch Russ Swift do his stuff and that was an amazing show, he's a top guy got us in for free and gave us a tour behind the scenes!
    (No Mini's were hurt in the show! 8))

    Overall Mini got it perfect once again, things like free goody bags with ickle model Mini's and sweets set the tone, as did the 10% discount on Mini merchandise. It was a whole different world from Seat, VW, Volvo and the rest with their stiff backed charcole suited staff bearing thier false smile, Mini staff were dancing about to the music and generally hyper like most of us on runs!

    It showed us how brilliant Mini's aftersales really is being treated like a V.I.P but they are not daft as all this makes you even more Mini mad and Mum's now set her mind on a cabriolet. So a visit to John Clarks is comming up!


    Ill send dome piccy's to MMM as ive still no got the hang of them yet :I

    Sounds like you had a great time Baz, well worth the long drive down and back.
    Strangely enough, when I was filling up with petrol this morning a guy drove in beside me in a black Civic Type-R. We were admiring eacj others cars and we got talking. Turns out he was heading down to the motor show too.
