Motor Show Birmingham

Tuesday I flew over from Brussels to Birmingham for the Motor Show Press Day.

MINI Presented a great stand, not the big international one, but very nice anyway. All MINIs on display are fitted with one or more accessories and it's very interesting to see the possibilities and combinations.

The MINI Adventure Show I saw was fantastic. They told me that we did not see the entire show on Press Day but just a sample of what the public will get. I'm sorry I can't go back to see the real thing.

I mailed all my pictures to Paul. I hope he can do something with them on this website.

I video'd the whole show

I was at the show on Wednesday and got the whole Mini Live show on Video - I'll post it onto my website just as soon as I get home to my 1 meg line (Sunday)...this 56k modem thing is a load of nonsense!

The show is excellent - and the Mini stand had about 6 cars on it - though none of them had Harmon Kardon

If you can get to the NEC then you should go - the whole show is excellent.

Mini have sponsered all the toilets and the posters are hilariously funny....some folk were even trying to prise the posters out the frames... though failing!

John

It's electric blue and it's really very speedy

Yes, the MINI adverts in the toilets were the funniest thing at the Motor Show. I hope MINI U.K. can let us have some samples. It thought it would be a strange situation taking pictures, so I didn't.
