Got a bulletin from MINI about the final results of the MINI World challenge. Thought I'd share the results with you guys...

Australia took out 1st and 4th

1st: 7740 pts - Bruce Lynton MINI Garage, Australia (Best overall player: Beric Lynton)
2nd 7434 pts - Niederlassung Frankfurt, Germany
3rd 7406 pts - Hoglinger Denzel GesmbH, Austria
4th 7396 pts - Brisbane MINI Garage, Australia

Go the Aussies!

I guess Rolfe Classic must have finished 5th then.

PMSL

You are far too kind Lima

minigolf · Jan 16th, 2006, 05:45 AM

Either that, or far too subtle.

kenhenry · Jan 16th, 2006, 08:42 AM

Shows how competitive we Aussies are. This will make a second trip each for Lyttons and Brisbane.

Congratulations to all.

Unfortunately, It'll will probably be your last, for the rules WILL undoubtedly change.

This is not the first time Australia has won I dont think... a few years ago Doncaster Mini Garage AFAIK were winners! I think they even got a trip overseas for it to go ice driving or something...

Congrats to these guys too!

It's an internal competition for MINI dealer to see who knows the most about MINI I think. I gather they get a trip somewhere if they win....

Bwahahahahaha!!!

As if!

I reckon they would be damn good contenders for the wooden spoon. Perhaps all the Canberra people should have a wooden spoon giving ceremony some time

Smurfn · Jan 17th, 2006, 07:30 AM

That is pretty damn good

If that's what it was....how can Brisbane Mini Garage be in 4th place!?.. sure they didn't mean Motorline?

Gr1zzLy · Jan 17th, 2006, 10:24 AM

In that case i'm surprised Alto's didn't win. They know Minis.

We should be able to nominate The Oracle/Mr Clever/Handy Andy to represent the Australian MINI owning public

Fair crack of the whip (oops wrong forum

) … but lets give the others a chance.

Umm...I'd come over for that too....but only if I get to belt some of them with the wooden spoons....like when you're a kid and you're in trouble...

Gr1zzLy · Jan 20th, 2006, 06:27 AM

Maaaan... you guys make it out that Rolfe are complete numbnuts... they can't be that bad can they? ... guys?!??! ....

TOJO · Jan 20th, 2006, 09:12 AM

Dateline February 16 2005. My wife arrives at Rolfe to collect her Chilli Red MCS. The scoop looks like this:

Gosh! you say, they are not the same colour. Of all the thoughts that run through your mind about paint matching, clogged spray nozzles, stray chemicals etc.... the most obvious thought should have been what the dealer said to us:

" The proper scoop was left on the boat"

I kid you not. That was the explanation from Rolfe.

I have this vision of the Turandot ( I think) arriving at the end of its sheduled voyage, having delivered thousands of cars to ports across three oceans, with two deck hands on an empty windswept deck chatting in broken English ( I think WW is a Norwegian crowd) "Vat ish dish doink?" and the other just looking blankly as he chucks it overboard into the Pacific Ocean, not realising that it was the "proper scoop" for Mary's MCS, and at that very moment we were standing in Canberra being taken as idiots by a numbnut dealer!!

Need we say more?
