Have any of the Brisbane guys and gals been to this? It starts today (Thursday 4/11) and goes through to Saturday in King George Square, I was wondering if it was worth a peek?
Cheers

Aren't we all MINI tragic's though.....swamos said:I'll probably be there again for a little while today too (It's not like I'm a tragic or anything, right??).
Don't worry if you don't get to it mate, I got it on tape at lunchtime. I even have some video of soopercoopersS trying for a prizekenhenry said:Was going to videotape the acrobats this arvo - storm got in the road and made the square too slippery. Might just get them tomorrow. Impressive sight - cross between the Italian Job and a Jackie Chan movie.
Even better, edited video from multiple angles, or I might be able to try making my first selectable multi-camera view DVD.swamos said:Don't worry if you don't get to it mate, I got it on tape at lunchtime.
All those attempts, and all I have to show for it is a plastic MINI pen: the consolation prize for uncoordinated MINI tragicsswamos said:I even have some video of soopercoopersS trying for a prize
Went back today and got two shows for the price of one. There was a group of young back packers watching the MINI show. At the end, they through down the gauntlet, and the challenge was on. For about 20 minutes, it was trick for trick. MINI Oz was impressed, as they got additional exposure.Sooper Cooper s said:All those attempts, and all I have to show for it is a plastic MINI pen: the consolation prize for uncoordinated MINI tragics

Model Mini and a Pen set for $5! ......I couldn't even get a Plastic Pen for $2!kenhenry said:Went back today and got two shows for the price of one.

BTW Sooper, Hacky Sack may just not be your thing. I through $5 into the charity jar and came away with a model MINI and the Boxed fountain Pen Set (already have the iPOD in the MINI, so no use trying for their MP3 radio.) $5 - Now that's good value
Sydney had the motor show, so won't be getting the same high profile 3 day public release. Melbourne on the other hand, is getting the same deal Bris did - so I encourage you to go along and try the MINI slot cars and spend a few dollars for charity and maybe win a prize or 2.
Thxs Steve , looks like fun!!!swamos said:Here we are... 10mb version
The charity jar is simply that they have a collection for a children's charity. For $1 you get 3 hacky sack balls and you try and toss them into special MINI 'baked bean' cans. If you get it in, you win the prize beside it. The MP3 radio is the furtherest away, maybe 4 metres, next closest is the boxed pen set, next the the stainless steel MINI coffe mug, and so on and so on.Baker said:So how does that charity jar work? You put in an amount and they give you a "prize" depending on how much you put in?
I'm after the MP3 Radio (if by that you mean the head unit) for my car, even though I'm getting the ICELink , so what would you think I'd have to put for that?
Good luck with that. When I was standing back and watching others I thought it looked so simple, I couldn't understand why these people were not just walking away with armfulls of prizes. Ken explained the concept so well, I still can't work out why I came away with only a platic MINI pen It's definately harder than it looks, but then again I just wanted the MINI MP3 player the prize furtherest away. Let us know how you go, I hope you walk away with what you want.Baker said:Wow, thats a really good thing - I'm definatly going to do it, helps out charity, plus a chance to win some great prizes! I've always wanted a Mini mug.. just didn't want to pay the price they ask for it!
