Australia OH MY GOD, I'm off to the factory!!!!

Quite an incredible thing happened to me late Friday arvo.

Some of you guys may have been aware of the recent MINI competition of a trip to London including a tour of the MINI factory in Oxford plus a heap of other bits.

I won! I fly off to London on the 15th Sept for around 9 nights.
I even get a MINI to drive when i'm there.

Its the first thing i've won since winning a Pacman hand puppet when i was a kid, (damn, that shows my age)

I'm in a complete state of shock!!!! It's taken three days to sink in.

Now, who to take with me??

You must be very lucky I asked the Mini plant about a tour on the 14th Sept and was told they aren't running any on this date as they are re tooling for the Clubman

That's excellent Michael. mrs minigolf and I went on a tour in May last year, it really is good fun.

Although, I think I left something behind at the factory. Mind if tag along to check it out.
