Saw those. Wanted pics of all the MINIs really! Especially the AC schitzer

From what ive heard it sounds like the new Fiesta has stole the show

[minicabrio]

I wasn't that impressed with the new Fiesta to be honest - I couldn't see what everyone was raving about. Some of the styling cues (jn my humble opinion) are a bit wonky

Haven't seen it myself, but your probably right. After all it's a Ford

Well, when its got a nice bodykit on and a set of alloys it does look pretty good, but then the Zetec Fiesta always have looked pretty good

When you get down to the basic model though with plastic wheeltrims the big long bare sill looks really naff. The Corsa is a better bet I reckon.

Do I need to take my MINI keys along to receive VIP treatment at the MINI stand?

I will be leaving my MINI in Cheshire and then going by Tube so I would have to take with my spare keys, if it is worthwhile.

I can't imagine anything topping the Russ Swift MINI Open Air Theatre show I saw in the 2004 Motorshow at the NEC. Wonderful being able to go upstairs to the VIP lounge and enjoy the view from the Dress Circle!

Yes, do take your keys along Although some people were managing to get in without We kept going back for the nice ice cold drink

I didn't like that body-kit I know what Fiesta I would spec - Comes to around £13k - Not bad considering what it has!

I much prefer the interior of the Fiesta to be honest And before you say its because I drive a Ford now, I'm actually much more of a Vauxhall person

I spent so much time on the Ford stand it was unreal - I've booked a test drive in each engine as they come out

well i didnt think much of any of the MINI stand/cars spec etc was rubbish compared to previous years ! the castle/uni was like something out of a school play! MINI seam to have lost the plot now, the bubbles burst.

Was really expecting to see a JCW car the same as in the advertising, not a bog standard one!!!! Didnt really get a proper answer when I asked 2 people why it was so standard, just got a 'well we wanted to just show people what the car is about'

The nicest MINI there was the White Silver Sidewalk!

agree, also the sidewalk had a Q a mile long to get in most times where the JCW S etc sat there empty

I was just looking at the group - Gonna join it now
