So, the MINI UK tour was fantastic! We saw soooooo much stuff! Visited Paris, Winchester, Oxford, the MINI Plant in Oxford, Stratford, Stonehenge, drove through Salsbury, Southhampton, Plymouth, and of course West Sussex, Little Hampton, East Preston, the home of Cooper Works!!! Photos are up! At http://photos.yahoo.com/z3bum. And yes, we got to meet Mike Cooper, son of John Cooper, there is a photo of myself, Mike A, Chris and Jay with Mike at the shop.

Many thanks to Anders and John from Mini Rentals, Katie, Stuart and Terry from MINI, and Dave from Winchester without whom our trip would have been possible. They helped make everything go smoothly. Lots of little driving tours, included guided runs from Dave and Stuart to help us get started. We visited several car museums, saw tons of MINIs and classsic minis, and bought tons of car models! More photos to follow on yahoo.
