GP owners area in Japan

Thanks to Ken, who reveals the GP owners area in the MINI Japan website (password needed which I can’t reveal) … when you log in it looks like this (but very dynamic with new images flashing all over the place!):

I have downloaded the “promo movie” and converted it to Quicktime format (WARNING: 9MB!)
It’s quite an interesting video, again very “dynamic” (targetting a younger audience maybe? or just cultural differences?) – but notice that it repeats the GP specification errors seen elsewhere (such as the 16″ brake discs!)

I like the way the specification differences count down/up from the JCW MINI

Thanks, Ken!
