Sadly cameras are banned (and phone ones).

I have seen the new MINI being driven between gates at the factory as well... I guess they are going to get pretty common in these parts soon.

ild stake out side the plant if i lived there! and make sure to get a pic! *** it ild get a job there 2 hehe

Let's not forget road law and safety folks - mobile phones and cameras?

Agree with tha above, set up your equipment at the ready and if you're snapping stills, you really need a remove shutter button so you can actually concentrate on the driving! (Or hide in a hedge somewhere?!)

Lets hire the paparatzi to hunt them down. Tell them Charlotte church or Paris is in one of them. Then we would get a few shots of them!

Keep up the spying eagle eyed peeps!

MINIgolf> you coming to the UK just for the factory tour?

GR33NIE · May 31st, 2006, 06:35 PM

Saw 6 today on the way home yes 6!!!!

Haven't seen these ones before....Looks like Pure Silver??

Anyway pic attached, excuse the quality but it was taken going along from my phone!!

You cant see a great deal but the camera is at the ready for the next time

Paul · May 31st, 2006, 06:51 PM

Nice work!

Did you get a better view than you did photos? How is it shaping up? Heavily disguised still?

Was it same bat time, same bat location as before?

OK, so on the way home, not out, but was it going down the hill towards the village?

Yeah got a decent view, it was around 5.30 tonight

Coming out of Wheatley towards the plant

The last 2 spottings have been between 5-6.30pm (on their way back to the plant I guess)

These ones didnt seem as disguised as the others ive seen, rear end made it stand out though looks quite different

DoubleA · May 31st, 2006, 07:36 PM

How about some1 local waiting with a few others, hanging around the plant at that time, to get some proper shots with a proper camera?

Surely they might be worth a few bob, as spyshots!

I need more!

Yep sounds like a good idea, you could be waiting a while but they are getting more frequent now round this area

NeoTheOne · Jun 3rd, 2006, 05:36 PM

Is it just me or does the scoop look a bit further back than the current S?

Jordan210 · Jun 3rd, 2006, 10:35 PM

In the factory there are a few bodys lying about an lots of panels with warning signs telling your not to put them in to production as they are R56 in a big wanrning triagle lol

good work with the pics

I did have the good luck to see the 07 mini at the Millbrook proving ground a few months back! Followed one into the fueling station and had a good nose around
