(They could have picked a better picture of the MINI. I suspect the hoi polloi are voting for the car that looks better in the photo!)

Meh, everyone has their opinion... that's why we buy a certain car over an other type. I personally think the Z is one hell of a sexy looking car.

Sorry but I felt like you guys would get a good laugh from this guy, like I did.

My grandfather was founding president and CEO of BMW North America and I still say the Mini is a laughing stock.

Folks, you can't make this stuff up. Yes, there are people dumber then bricks still roaming the earth!

Yeah, the Mini was at 46% yesterday when 1500 votes were tallied. Now over 3600 and still at 46%. It ain't boding well for the Mini folks.

I was surprised to see Roadfly is on it also! http://forums.roadfly.com/forums/mini/mini_cooper/

When does voting end? I see where the next round begins on Monday... so I guess Sun. Still at 46%.

There are other forums, including the sub ones here for other areas of the world / countries. From there it would make it to many more eyes...

Where's the love

Where's the love folks?

I can't believe we can't get more votes than this. There are, as a very rough average, 1,000 people on this board at any time daily. We still only have 47% of 3872 votes (1,819) total. Even considering the overlap with MINI2 and Motoringfile, MINI has a MUCH bigger online audience than the voting shows.

Look at how pompous those Z guys are! This is truly a David and Goliath battle that we need to step up to! The Little Guy needs to pull out a win here to prove, once again, that it is a force to be reckoned with!!!

Now, all you have to do is VOTE HERE!

Just delete the multiple cookies from cars.com and just like magic you're issued a new ballot.

It does issue a new ballot, but whether it's being counted or not, I don't know...

I just started new threads here on NAM: Asia, Australia, Europe and Canada...

As has been repeated many times, if you delete the cookies and vote again IT DOESN'T COUNT! They're tracking votes by IP address of the computer.

Every thread you post on NAM, remind people to vote, include the web address too if needs be.

That does seem correct alright, as per the 350Z guys!

http://www.my350z.com/forum/showthread.php?t=260149

They have 11 pages going, and that's just for the competition against us...
