MINI2 are to attend the international press launch of the MINI Cooper in Gubbio, Italy. Special thanks to MINI in the UK for arranging our trip, which will give us the opportunity to offer our own first hand review of how the MINI stands up to the roads of the impressive Italian countryside.

We will of course be as thorough as possible with our critique of the car, and if you, as a MINI2 visitor, have anything you would like us to pay particular attention to, please mention it in our forum, and we will do our best to answer your questions.

You can expect a full report of our experience with the new MINI Cooper, and meeting some of the top people working with MINI to appear on this site early next week.
