Soon I’ll be leaving for Munich and beginning my MINI United road trip across Europe. First on the list is picking up Laser Blue/White 2007 MCS (w/English Speaking Navigation!). Shortly afterwards I’ll be driving the Nurburgring (and experiencing it in everything from a 2007 MCS to MINI & BMW race cars). Provided the promised Wifi is in working condition I’ll also have updates and photos throughout the trip. Eventually I’ll make my way back to Munich where I’ll tour some BMW facilities before leaving for a cross continent trek to Amsterdam and MINI United. I’ll be testing the limits of the Autobahn (where appropriate) in effort to get to Zandvoort by Thursday afternoon.
MINI United coverage will should begin on MotoringFile and White Roof Radio from Thursday evening onward where I’ll meet-up with Todd and DB. During our time at MU we’ll have interviews with everyone from Gert Hildebrand (head of MINI design) to John Cooper to Kay Segler (VP of MINI Brand Management). We’ll also be reporting from the field and trying (as best as possible) to capture all that is MINI United and bring it to your through your computer.
And be sure to keep an eye on the MotoringFile Flickr page and the official MINI United Flickr page for updates as well.
So if you can’t make it to MINI United next weekend, just stay tuned to MotoringFile for all the latest.
When youre not having a blast opening up the tirque to 192/ft, then please find out if the changes promised for August production are coming to NA.

See you at the Ring.
Hope you and your wife have a great trip Gabe. Should be a excellent time and I amm really looking forward to the tales.

Be sure and tell everyone at Mini we would like Euro
delivery. Pickup in England or Munich, either would be fine. I am ready to order Mini #3 when they offer this.
See you there Gabe 🙂
