Nov 22nd, 2010

The announcement has been made on MINI United’s official Facebook page. No details are available yet and no we can’t spill anything (yet). But we can tell you it’ll be a little sunnier than 2009′s MINI United in England.

Todd and I take the time to completely recap the drunken debauchery that was MINI United 2009. The things we saw, the things we did, including driving Silverstone circuit. Yes, that Silverstone. Yes, in a MINI. Yes, it was pretty awesome. Too bad Todd got an automatic transmission. He ended up taking a leisurely cruise around the course instead.
How about a funny story about MINI USA? Sure, we have one of those too. And, if you missed it, there was this. Which was pretty funny too.
Oh yea, Todd rode in a helicopter. You can see that here.
I was going to ride too, but, well, you’ll just have to listen.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a MINI United unless we got the chance to talk to the main man in charge, Dr. Wolfgang Armbrecht, Senior Vice President of Brand Management at MINI. He gives us the lowdown on the latest MINI updates. Or, as much as he could. Pay special attention to the part about the Crossover and the “optional” four wheel drive feature. Also, in what should be music to some enthusiasts’ ears, note that Dr. Armbrecht stated that in the future MINI would be focusing on “the trend toward smaller cars”. Keep in mind this statement followed some discussion of the Crossover, a larger MINI, but the statement can be taken as a hopeful hint of where MINI may be going next.
This is the last of our MINI United coverage. If you missed any of it, you can find it all here. Don’t forget to also check out the WRR YouTube Channel for the all of the video we posted.

What would MINI United be without the owners? We get a chance to speak to many of the people from the US and quite a few of the locals as well.

Shortly after we reported on the WC50, Todd was able to connect with Gabe during his weekend to talk about the car and a little bit about MINI United.
There is still more to come gang! We’ve got interviews with owners, Dr. Armbrecht and others that will be coming later in the week.
