    Hi all,

    Living near Birmingham as I do, I found about this recently - might be worth a combination with a trip to the factory?

    There are apparently a lot of old Mini's in it (have a look at SniffPetrol on twitter from yesterday for some pics), and Lord Austin's old office is there as it was when he worked there.

    Heritage Motor Centre Museum & Conference Centre Gaydon is 33 miles from oxford on the way home as well but it’s a case that some will probably just want to get back up the road, but it does look fantastic. It has a good Mini part to it.

    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

    I get in to Gaydon free with my work pass

    Have a look at some pics from Sniffpetrol (worth a follow on Twitter purely for the F1 chat) - http://twitpic.com/photos/sniffpetrol
