Planning a self drive trip this October of GB and Normandy. Looks like if all goes well we will be in the Oxford area for at least 2 days!! Can't wait

 

Make sure you book the tour at Plant Oxford, well worth the effort.

 

Can you provide any details or links on how to do this? I'll be there in August and would love to see the plant having just ordered my first Mini.

 

HOW COOL!! Have fun and if you tour the plant...I have a question for you to ask them...or a suggestion for them if they don't.... lol

When I got Scarlett last Oct. we found a PENCE! A precious little British penny in the cup holder thingy with the lid... (That's how Scarlett got her middle name Penny)

Question is: Do they put those in MINIs on purpose? Or did it fall out of someone's pocket in the plant? No one on NAM had one in their baby...I asked my dealer about it and he was thinking about buying them and putting them in their cars as a friendly MINI hello and don't forget where you were made!

 

That's awesome! I didn't even know that it was possible to self drive from Florida to GB! If you take the plant tour, be sure to give us a nice long writeup complete with pics. Enjoy!

 

I would love to see where my MCS was born, sound like an awesome trip. When I was a Honda Element owner, our first national meet was in Columbus Oh to see the Element's being built, it was a great time.

 

Thanks!

I already wrote them and they told me they only book 3 months in advance. They did say to book then and not to wait to the last minute.
