Ministry Of Ownership

Has anyone noticed that the new Ministry Of Ownership, which seems to be taking over from the Owners Lounge on the Mini Site, has had its launch date put back until tomorrow?

It was due to launch today. Does anyone know what it will include for us Mini owners?

It's UK only so I've moved this thread into the UK forum.

It will be used to teach us silly walks, and to sell us even more MINI stuff we never even knew we needed.

Saw the MINI hotpants the night before last. Very nice, thinking of getting a pair to scare the neighbours with!

Oooh. I thought you meant it wasn't on the configurator, earlier this week it wouldn't let you spec the same colour roof.

No it wasn't on the configurator.......white and black look they can only have contrasting roofs......

Have you lot recieved your Mini Passport in the post! It comes with your chassis number for entering tye site, and also two tickets for the Mini Adventure area at the NEC. You have to take your passport with you to get in, how cool! Mini advertising is so clever and most importantly based around FUN!
Best Ever!

Don't worry, you haven't missed much.

It is much the same as the old owners lounge, facility to book services, look at accessories etc.

I can't register either Even went back out to the car to double check I had the right chassis number!

I've emailed Mini today and apparently they'll respond in two days....clock's ticking...
