Hi -- Elizabeth and I have spent the last week here in UK. We have been leaching off Elizabeth's sister in Redhill -- Just south of London. Spent 2 days in town and 2 days touring stately old mansions.

Today we depart for a few days in Oxford and surroundings. Plant to meet MikeW, Mike A et al for a tour of the Mini factory. later on in the week. We then plan on a couple of days in the New Forest, centering on the fantastic British National Motoring Museum at Beaulieu(http://www.beaulieu.co.uk/. Then we meet up with the contingent sailing home on the new QM2. Busy week!

Regards from sunny London Tom

 

Sounds like you and Elizabeth are having a great time, Tom! What are you driving over there? :smile:

Cheers!

Hey, Donna... Cool new sig! How'd you do it? I just made myself a new one too!

 

not sure about the UK trip pictures, but how about we get those bikini girls to wash minis?

....on the serious side, hoping for some great pics.

 

I can't take credit for it - as usual - my dear friend COOPERation did it for me...

And you do good work Deb! I love the new siggy of yours..:smile:

Chow!

Hello all!! Hope things are well back in the M-A :smile:. I am onboard the Queen Mary 2 with the Clarks and Babischkins Little rough at the moment as we're going through the leftovers of Hurricane Charlie . Departed Saturday. Yesterday passed to the south of Ireland. Now it's all ocean baby...

Went to Oxford to tour MINI facility - cool . Drooled over new MINIs, walked around Austin Powers and the Italian Job MINIs . Met goonery (Stuart) and others from MINI2. New and classic MINIs everywhere. Went to the "secret" room at the plant......more on that later... .

Rented the Coopers for a week. Fun, easy shifting but took a while to get used to positioning the car. They should at least tell you SOMETHING about driving in the UK (versus) US...

Highlight of week - met Mike Cooper at JCW!! Beautiful cars and got the skinny on the new JCW bits :drool lots: :drool lots:

See ya later,

Mike

 

If it's ok with Jen, that might be an idea for next spring! We could turn it into an um charity event! Yeah! Now if I can teach the bikini girls to Zymol or Zaino MINIs, that would be cool!
