Anyone else want to see a webcam in the BMW-Oxford MINI plant? Woudn't you like to watch the day yours was to be built?

Yeah that would be kick ***. I have never heard of any other company doing that though so there might be some kind of libality issues.

I've read that was the original idea, some camera that you could tie your production number or VIN to. The labour union didn't like the idea. :???:

That would be awesome, and quite possibly addicting...By the way if you buy a new Enzo Ferrari they give you a tour of the factory and let you watch as they build your $600,000-plus car. Too late though, they're all sold out....

It might be worse than the 'most awful show on telivision.' Seeing them stumbling back from lunch, drooling Guinness. Hey! Maybe that is what is in the coolant... :evil:

Whatever! I think it would be major league cool if they did that!!!!!

No other car builders are doing that, that I know of, and MINI should!

They said they would, they should !

Just do it!
