Visited the Oxford MINI plant!!

Went on vacation this month to England (where I'm from). Stayed with my cousin who lives in Old Windsor for 15days. It donned on me one day that Oxford was on 1 1/2 hrs away and it would be cool if I could tour the plant. Called the plant at 3pm and was touring @7pm that same days. It was about a 3 hr tour of the factory. Man, it's impressive. The tour guides (2 retired Oxford plant workers) were excellent. Very enthusiastic. If you're ever close by to Oxford, definately worth the visit.
