Just in case any Polish people are here yet and have missed the news:
Mini Polska launch party is 9pm 9th May 2003. Party is in the Focus Filtrowa building in Warsaw. Invites available from BMW HQ.

First Mini deliveries are 12th May. I'm getting my British Racing Green Cooper at 9am from Auto Fus!

See you on the roads!

Hi, welcome to MINI2, and greetings from Ireland !

It's going to be more than fun! I drove a Mini for two weeks last October when I was back in the UK. I then sold everything I own which is non-essential (a kidney, a lung, one testicle etc) to raise the cash needed to buy a Cooper. I did think about selling my right arm on eBay to get the Cooper S but that only comes with an manual box and that'd be a touch tricky to handle with only one arm...

Since then I've been waiting and waiting and waiting for BMW to finally organise themselves enough to sell the car here. I harassed them so much that they agreed to include me on the first delivery (all the other cars are demonstrators and show-room models for dealers).

Party on friday will be fun but I've taken two days off work (monday and friday) for the week that I take delivery. Have even persuaded my boss (at the magazine where I write) to fund a weekend trip for me the first weekend I've got a Mini! Going to a 14th century castle (now a hotel), a miracle site (Polish version of Lourdes) and Hitler's bunker (where he lived '39 to '43). Just happens to be an area with lots of lovely sweeping bends....

My Grandad's side of the family are Polish & I plan to go to Poland some time in the future as I have never been before - maybe even drive there in my S ...?

Welcome Harry@Piekarnia, maybe you could be my tour guide when I finally decide to go over???

Hi and Welcome Again!
I drove through Poland last year whilst doing a tour of Europe. We managed 13 countries in 4 weeks including Croatia, Slovenia and Switzerland.
You have some fantastic roads in Poland, I seem to remember the Motorways being a bit on the bumpy side though

Keep on Truckin'
