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?

Paul · May 7th, 2004, 02:07 PM

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!

Hot Pants - LOL

Apparantly you need your chassis no. to get in

Paul · May 7th, 2004, 03:41 PM

To get in what, the Hot Pants?

Wobert · May 7th, 2004, 07:13 PM

Er no I can't......just priced one up.......16.8k.........and that's before the JCW kit!

And it doesn't have Chilli either

Off to earn some Brownie points off wifey!

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

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!

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.
