Congrats for such a great prize. Glad you enjoyed it and felt like a very VIP. Hope you enjoyed the UK! x

MiniOneSam · Sep 27th, 2007, 09:35 PM

Glad to hear you had fun mate, shoulda said and we could have done that run!! Oh well, I take it you weren't allowed any pics of the Clubman?

supa-dupa-cooper · Sep 27th, 2007, 10:12 PM

Sounds like you had a great time!

The tour is good, ive been twice now and going for a 3rd time

And as you say the guides are great too

MiniOneSam · Sep 27th, 2007, 10:16 PM

How do you arrange it? And does it cost anything? I'd love to do it but haven't a clue

supa-dupa-cooper · Sep 27th, 2007, 10:21 PM

Theres a bit in the FAQs section Sam

http://www.mini2.com/forum/faq.php?f...aq_plant_tours

Though at the moment I don't think its open for the public due to the clubman

It's Clubpersons.

sounds like you had a blast. what a hoot. There's a million competitions out there and you never find out who wins them. Its great to actually hear from one. well done.

BTW Do you think if I had filled in my entry and said I want to meet the pack of useless moron that screwed my heap of pooh together, and shake his hand, do you think I would have won?

John's pretty much been at that factory most of his working life and you can see he is very proud to be a part of the place.

Thanks, it was very much the VIP treatment for me. Even the weather was great for us most of the time we were there.

Would have loved to have a run but at the time was unsure how long i was gonna be up Oxford way for. I ended up having the car for the entire weekend and headed up Stratford way on Sunday. Saturday arvo i met up with some friends of a friend in a village called Napton who live in a house built in 1392! Thats 400 odd years before Australia was founded!!!
Yep, they would not allow me to take any pics of Clubman at all!
The usual cost is a 7pound donation to the local hospital.

YES, the politically correct title!

Haha

As for your entry, that is the reason i never won a trip to the Ssangyong factory!!

At the factory though, I never did get to see the "Baby Rattle" that gets installed behind every MINI dashboard!
