No Mini stand at the motor show again!!!
What's the story BMW???
This is a poor substitute for a stand featuring the latest JCW & Challenge Cup cars i was hoping to see, not to mention the Clubman.
If this info is correct i'm not impressed.

Hi,

The mini challenge cars are not going to land in the country until February 2008 so they are not available. The JCW also is unavailable.

Mini are not the only ones to make a non appearance. Porsche has not appeared at the last couple of motor shows. It is a commercial decision, based upon the exorbitant costs that the motor show charges, vs the number of punters through the door. The costs of being an exhibitor has increased significantly. At the same time, the organisers are trying to gouge more money out of the punters through door charges.

The bottom line is is everyone is unhappy The car companies pull out, because they perceive they are not getting value for money, and the punters complain because they are not getting value for money

Cheers
