Holiday Greetings from MINI’s Design Team

Usually when we get cards around this time of the year from friends in the MINI world, we’re not asked to share them with our readers. However the card (seen above) we received recently was created for MotoringFile and its readers by none other than MINI Design in Munich.

One of my favorite MINI related memories of the year was getting know some of the talented people at MINI design at MINI United this summer. However it wasn’t just meeting them that was the highlight. It was finding that they are open and self-effacing people who are genuinely enthusiastic about the MINI and about automobiles in general. Or in other words, they’re enthusiasts like all of us.

So on behalf of our readers out there, I’d like to say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to the talented people at MINI Design and everyone who works so hard to create the cars we love to talk about.

    Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everybody on Motoringfile and to all the people that put so much effort into designing, marketing, and building our cars at Mini. I know my voice often seems upset these days but I do honestly wish you all the very best and hope you have a great holiday with your family and friends (and Mini’s too).

    A hearty Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays to the MINI Design Team, not just for such a thoughtful holiday greeting, but also for all the great work on our favorite car, and a special holiday shout-out to the Motoringfile Team for all their hard work, too. Many Thanks,

    Rob in Dago

  • MaxMCS

    That… is incredible.

    When you buy a MINI, you’re buying a car… but you’re also buying into this community- which never sleeps, never stops, lives and breathes all things MINI. It really is like a gigantic family.

    Cheers and happy holidays, all. Happy motoring!

    Its great to see the people behind it all! A few of us met Dirk van Braeckel at the Oxford launch for the Clubman launch. He spent time chatting to us all while we had a good look round the car. Top chap.

    DB Rally meet Dirk… http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2390/1524690158_2073b58a2e.jpg
