As you may or may not know, all Minis are made in BMW Mini’s Cowley plant in Oxford. As we started our travels in Oxford, we thought we’d set ourselves the task of Mini-spotting as we crossed the globe (sad I know but keeps the homesickness at bay)! As I type this we’re just on the train to Vietnam and I’m happy to say that we’ve spotted (and photographed!) a Mini in every country we’ve been to so far (apart from France but we didn’t actually stop there so it doesn’t count!) – woohoo! I think we’ll be incredibly lucky if we see any in Vietnam or Cambodia but we like a challenge! Anyway, here is the list so far…
Brussels, Belgium (this one’s a Dutch one)
Brussels, Belgium (this chap is Belgian)
Cologne, Germany (loving the Union Flag)
Copenhagen, Denmark
Stockholm, Sweden (why do all the Scandinavians have convertible Minis – it’s blooming freezing most of the time!)
Helsinki, Finland (another convertible!)
St. Petersburg, Russia
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia (had to sprint down the road like a man possessed to get this one – literally only saw one Mini over the 5 days we were there!)
Beijing, China
Shanghai, China
Kowloon, Hong Kong
Nice!
