Pics: Southampton Docks..

Hi again from across the pond, just looking through my photos and realized I had never posted these here..

Went on the QE2 at the end of last year for a short pre-christmas cruise..

I completely forgot about where Minis we're exported from and was delighted to see about 2,000 Minis waiting for export at the Southampton docks, England.. They streched next to the whole road from the start to the end of the dock and two multi-story car parks we're full of them, plus some boring Land/Range Rovers..

Most seemed to be headed for the US - if anyone recognizes their MINI let us know!

I've been on those docks, and yeah, it's such a pretty sight, MINIs, Jaguars, Land Rovers, and Bentleys everywhere.

I bet those are not the only docks you've been on. Just kidding.

This is a good case for doing that initial clay bar and wax when your new MINI arrives!

Adopt A Mini

Thanks for the pictures. Those ones behind the fence look so sad to me. Just like puppies at the shelter waiting for a loving home.

Please adopt a MINI.

Sounds like a great ad campaign.

Does anyone know who ships the Mini, is it Reliable Transport, the orange enclosed trucks?

I have never seen them on the open air transport trucks (parking lots on the CB).
