Just thought I'd post up a few pics from the Oxford MINI factory, as I was there earlier today and it was fantastic. Sadly we weren't aloud to take any photos inside the factory but there was the showroom area which had some nice MINI's. I travelled down with my mate Ian King in his R56 factory JCW along with the New MINI Scotland crew. I had a few shots on the way there and back and it's very nice to drive!!

After the Factory Ian and I stopped in at Gaydon since it was the last weekend celebratine 50years of the Mini.

the last ever Mini...
Also since the Oxford MINI factory is just down the road a bit from Gaydon, I'm going to see if there's any interest in any of you lot wanting to take the factory tour on the Saturday before Gaydon since we'll be down there anyway, and I think you'd enjoy it, as I did. I'll put that in another thread after I've spoken to the factory about availability.
Hope you liked the photos!
Paul.
