		<description>&lt;p&gt;Way cool! Little Minis, and bags of cash, sounds like a deal! I&#039;ve been to a number of these kind of things over the years, and most were somewhat dull, except for the hands-on driving ones, and this one makes the regular MINI owner very influential in the future proccess, because the input is fairly early in the game. Thanks, Eric, for the insight.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/code&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m not sure we&#039;ve heard the end of these sessions. I, too, was one of the 2000 and live in the Northeast.  Why send the survey to me since I am about as far from SoCal as anyone can get?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I wouldn&#039;t be suprised if they hold a Midwest of Eastcoast session as well.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Very interesting stuff. I was one among the 2000 survey respondents and would have loved to be present at the hands on workshop. It seems to me that it was limited to one location only (Southern California)as opposed to conducting the workshops nationwide.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am very happy to hear that MINI is eager to bring out a more family friendly variant yet it will manage to retain all the benchmark attributes of the current car.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;MINI should not delay any further the introduction of a 5 door station wagon.&lt;/p&gt;
