My dream dealer...

Found this article from Motoringfile.com.

Thailand has become home to the largest Mini showroom in the world with the opening of Mini Square on Ekamai rd., Bangkok.
"The six-storey facility cost Bt150 million and has a total area of 6,000 square metres according to Sanhavuth Thammachuanviriya, managing director of the Millennium Auto Group.
The new car showroom and an Internet cafe are located on the first floor, while the Mini “Next” used-car showroom is on the second floor. Floors three and four are for servicing and parts inventory, with eight service bays that can be expanded to 16 in the future. Parking is on the fifth floor. An Italian restaurant called “Fuzio Stylish Restaurant and Bar” sits on the sixth floor and features a panoramic view of the city."
I wish we had something like this in our area. Its sure be our exellent hang-out place.

Sanook Mak Mak!!!! (Very Fun!) Maybe I can go there next time I'm in Thailand! Actually, I'm planning to go to England in August. My sister and her new husband recently moved to Oxford.(He's from UK). They live 3 miles north of the MINI plant!!!! Unfortunately, MINI isn't doing tours until late summer as they are currently retooling for the Clubman!! If tours do restart by then, I'll try my hardest to get in it!

I am currently studying Italian, but if I need to make a trip to Thailand to see this mega MINI dealership, I may have to study Thai next!

I'm more than happy to be a Mini tour co-ordinator.
Actually, I have a tentative plan to go there by the end of Jan 08 for about 2 weeks though.
Anyone?
