The making of a MINI or A MINI is born
I found this neat video on another forum. If it has been referenced here sorry if not I'm sure it'll be enjoyed by someone.

IT is a cool video - nice to see it's updated for the 07s. There is a MINI manufacturing video - it's out of date compared to this video.
