Monte Carlo competition on mini.com.au

[MickyD]

Has anyone else had a look at this? you can win a trip to have a driving course with Rauno Aaltonen on ice

I'll be stuffed if I can work out where you click to enter though
Maybe I'm just having a dumb day....

[IML337]

well I can't find the button either...?

[warped]

Well if its some form of intelligence I just failed badly can't find no enter button to save myself

[MickyD]

phew, it's not just me then :-)

[Mike Clarke]

I've called MINI and they are investigating, they can't even get the competition to load

I had a call from MINI today and this competition is not for Australia and the web site is being updated. Another success story from mini.com.au


Incidentally I checked on mini.com and they have the same Monte Carlo presentation but no mention of any competition.

[-blacky-]

Just as organised as the Mini Driver Training !

Where is the Monte Carlo going to be a 'buyable' option - isnt it only for the American 'limited edition' crazy market anyway?

[MickyD]

nope, there are 40 of them coming here - there was an article on drive.com.au the other day.

they're 42,990 with xenons, stripes, the BRG ones have the cordoba leather interior (nice!), not sure what the red ones have, and you get number keyring, and a monte carlo vest with them.

$42,990 AUD?? Its an S isnt it? Jesus - that makes it bloody cheap!?

Didnt know there was a BRG one

Im pretty sure the red ones have the black/red leather.

Not to mention they both have the carbon fibre interior trims (which id kill for) - and initial word is John Cooper should be offering this to its Cooper range by the end of the year - for something like 3000 bucks...

[MickyD]

they don't have the CF trim inside, in fact they've got SFA that you can't option on a normal S, except for the numbered interior and the side stripes, although the Cordoba interior is pretty expensive from memory (as in 3k or so)

I really like the look of the side stripes actually, idlegear sells some similar ones that say 'supercharged' on them, I'm very tempted :-)
