For those of you that aren’t following along with the MINI United updates on Facebook, they have just announced the location, but no date.
2011: This just in! It’s officially happening in the South of France sometime near the end of summer. Exact dates when we’ve got them, FB/MINI United will be the 1st to know!
No exact location yet but at least we have an idea of which country it will be in. Hopefully dates and exact locations will be following soon, so get those passports warmed up!

With all the conversation about upcoming MINI products we thought it a good time to re-run a poll from earlier this year.
MINI has a lot of interesting things in development right now. Some of them, like “the twins” we’ve seen. Some, like the City Car, we’ve only got bits and pieces of information for. That had us wondering. What do you, the illustrious readers of MotoringFile, get excited for?
