just had a strange phone call from a market researcher - "we're doing some research on behalf of a car manufacturer, would you mind taking part"

after confirming my occupation, age & that i drive a car he asked what make it was. soon as i said i drive a mini he said "oh, actually we're not allowed to talk to mini drivers, its a bit too close to the reseach subject"

& that was that

Lol........how strange!!!

mdsbrain · Jul 27th, 2004, 07:38 PM

Hmm..I wonder...

Could be... although I certainly wish MINI was spending its resources on certifying more service centers, but then, that's just me.

Maybe they're researching the CitiRover or whatever it's called?

1 series maybe?

Actually MINI has been doing some for quite awhile: http://www.motoringfile.com/2004/05/...sumer_research

Speaking of which, Sytner spammed me yesterday with an advert for the 1 series. Thats a bad move considering I run the email infrastructure for one of the biggest banks (the biggest?) in the world, and Sytner are now the latest addition on black list...
