By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Bandar Seri Begawan - Owners of British-manufactured Mini Cooper originals and early versions are called upon to join a convoy of such vehicles for receiving mini national flags to be flown on top of their cars tomorrow morning at The Mall in Gadong.

However, organisers said all the owners of a Mini Cooper must first assemble in the car park area fronting McDonald's in Gadong at 7.30am. The distribution of miniature flags will take place around 9 am at The Mall.

A National Day Exhibition will be held there and officiated by the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports, after which mini national flags will be distributed to the public.

"Owners of Mini Cooper vehicles will be lining up to get theirs at that time," said Najib. For more information on the car convoy, please call him at 8824300 or Sofian at 8855513.

Najib said owners of the Mini Cooper vehicles will be joining the convoy to share a show of the population's national patriotism towards the National Day celebration.

Najib added that he and other owners will be discussing the formation of a Mini Cooper Club to demonstrate their passion for the British-made vehicles.

Designed by Alec Issigonis in 1956, Mini Cooper has created a sensation all over the world as a people's car capable, of getting from A to B comfortably, safely and economically. Najib said out of all the thousands of different cars manufactured over the last century, only a very few have truly made history.

"There may only be three such cars which rise above the common herd in the sense Tat they have brought about major changes to society or development of the motor car itself The Ford Model T, the Volkswagen Beetle and the Mini.

"Therefore, the Mini Cooper is worth being treasured and that's why we decided to talk about forming a club," he said.

As the first modern car to use a transverse engine and front-wheel drive, the Mini began a revolution that led to almost every other car manufacturer adopting a similar layout or design.  -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
