Ok all a short tale for you all.

As per my previous posts I ordered a DS/B Cooper S on the 10th September and was told it would be going into build in week 42. I came home thinking mmm it would be nice if I could go to the factory and see how they are built. So I email the plant and wait a few days, I get a mail back saying sorry we are fully booked please try again in November for a January 2008 visit....

I was a little disappointed so I mailed them back saying thanks etc however it would be have been good to possibly see my Cooper S going through the plant, as my build week is week 42. I have just received a mail from Oxford.Plant-Tours@disappointed.com saying they have a space for me on Thursday afternoon would I like to attend? Needless to say off I go on Thursday to see it in the flesh. I know there is no chance of me seeing my MCS being built but it is still going to be a great MINI Adventure.

Any tips etc from anyone that has been would be good.

WD

ps: Sorry for the rant but ever since I placed the order I have been a bit of a child.
