Smile Anyone got a friend of a friend who works at the factory?

... because I would really appreciate a snippet of inside information. May also be especially useful info to others like me with their MINI build scheduled for early September...


Would it be possible on Monday 1 September 03 to confirm that the 2004 model changes have actually reached the production line, as indicated by the recent press release ?


My thanks in anticipation,



Juno

there was a bloke here who worked at the factory but I think he got fired for giving away inside information - can't remember his name.

Crikey

I thought he just got told to stop posting not sacked. Now what was his name?

He's the one who said EB was going across the range IIRC.

Oh heck I didn't mean to start a fire

& I really don't want any trouble caused at our favourite factory. This isn't industrial espionage is it? Just wanted a little re-assurance thats all.

Peace.

I'll take that as a YES to my original question - Many thanks cat and friends

erm ... I've got to ask though - Any other cars on the production line of this one you refer to ? i.e. Are all week 36 build cars definately 2004 specification ? Sorry if I'm being too demanding - I'm just looking for a little peace of mind in respect of my wk 36 car.

THANK YOU! & keep up the good work
