1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and
start it all over again.

1 to state that they love Mini Coopers so that's why they are here..

 

I love Mini Coopers so that's why I'm here.

 

How could you possibly leave out "use the search function" and "read your owner's manual"?

 

C'mon, it's MINI, not Mini. Unless, infact you are talking about Mini. Then this belongs in the Classic Mini section.

Just playing.

 

Me too.

 

LOL...that's exactly what I was thinking. Glarring error based on how it goes on here.

 

You forgot to list the 131 folks who always post about DYNO this and DYNO that.

 

Let's not forget the usual bunch who clamor for NUMBERS !

Me too.

Me Three

 

How about the ones who show off their new mods...

25 respond with "nice mini" and "good job" and "very original" ..."but it's not my taste. maybe you should have done..."

 

63 respond "Is 'Bumpass, VA' for real"??

 

http://www.yellowpagecity.com/ourcit.../US/VA/Bumpass

Well, they got a Yellow Pages, therefore they must exist.

(actually i just wanted to be the first one to say "let your fingers do the walking in Bumpass, VA")

.

Don't worry I will abandon this idea immediately,
Tatt

 

13 say "i didn't know she was a girl!"

 

http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp...ate=VA&zipcode=

 

...and 20 more to debate whether it's MINI or Mini.

 

We all must remember the lessons learned from The Bonnet Stripe Controversy. Nearly tore this community in two.

 

Whoa, niice map... There she is, centrally situated between I-64 and I-95, and (dare I say) Due east of Cuckoo, VA... .

This is not a hi-jack, I've just got a map fetish,
Tatt

 

I burned my stripes, back in the '70's, but that's another story...

 

What about the gazillion starters of "MINI vs. (place another car here)" threads.

 

And 1 to post about all the posters.


You should add: 0 to post sound, video and dyno clips of the AGS Skeptics Orgy.

 

22 ask where to find the cartoon minis in everyone's signature.

 

Click North. I want to live in Lahore.

 

What the hell kinda sick puppy named your towns, Bus???

 

Don't knock it... we have a Cooper Vineyards! (event oct.22, ahem)

But they are fun names.
Cutalong
Stubbs
Storck
Dan
Hydraulic (?)
Dyke
Burnt Tree
Curdsville

 

Bumpass, Cuckoo, and Lahore! Either that's a law firm that (understandably) went bust, or a huge missed opportunity by MINI Marketing, who brought fame (and motorers), to other towns with interesting names, like Embarrass, MN.
