Ive put my name down, my mate was also quite up for it aswell. Only about 100 miles away so not too bad.

Edit: As this would be my first SS what exactly do you do? Park up and talk to fellow PHers and look around the car park for a while?

yes I did allude to that in the article, but for those that missed it it's PH cars, manufacturer displays and there is also food and drink available. A PH social if you like.

Is that building where the MINI's are built?
If so, are we able to see the manufacturing process, even if its like the first time at Rolls looking through the windows...?

Sadly not, the plant will not be operational.

The T Building is a large building that displays cars from MINI/Mini heritage and explains some of the tech features too.

I have requested that our clothing partners attend, they have some staffing issues so let's hope they can make it.

We certainly have plans to be at most 2011 events.
