I know you say you dont like reading...but the difference between stating something as an opinion, and stating a fact (such as "rivets suck") should be pretty obvious
its a forum, everything is an opinion whether it starts with "I think" or not. deal with it. you don't see every other member freaking out whenever someone says something they don't agree with. and that white mini is ugly (is that a fact or opinion? you decide)

and xizor....Nice try. It's not an opinion for me to say that a cold air intake works on the basis that cold air is denser. That is a fact. To assume that everything is an opinion would make no sense. And many people on here do in fact believe that their opinion that certain aesthetic qualities are "wrong" or "bad" are bold facts rather than opinions. Sorry my replies upset you....as you said "deal with it"

with that said...you are somewhat right. I will be quieting down now.

If you go to the BMW web site and look at their pictures, I wonder what you would think of it, it sure doesn't look this good.

Oh. Then <3- is a symbol for a smiley face sticking a knife in a heart.

Haha.

Now how about that white MINI or somthing? Reminds my of that one movie...what is it called... "a Rivet Runs Through It"? Or maybe it was "Rivetdance"?

Those are screws. Or bolts. Or something. They add at least 10 horsepower, I'm sure of it.

Does anyone know where can I get a UNION JACK top for a sunroof? I had one before, but it felt off on a rainy night.

rally.....

ive noticed over the last week that 'most' of your post are 'matter of fact' and you act like you 'know all' why is that? Im not trying to be an ***, but I mean c'mon! You treat peoples opinions like they are stating facts, and then correct them. i dunno, just kinda irritating.

I'm sorry you dont like my posts. I'm not trying to make matter of fact points....I apologize and will try watching myself.

You should note though that much of this is just me teasing people that i have grown to know pretty well. My comments to Minitor (and others) are all just poking fun at earlier discussions we have had...just goofing around. Most of my posts are not being made to be taken seriously. This is just a forum....nothing serious.

no, no! theres no need to apologize! This forum is for people to communicate about mini's, obviously. it just seems like you know all the little details about our mini's. I think it bugs me because over the e-net, you can't hear HOW people say things, ya know? sorry if I offended you.

I used to think this about Rally too, and still do sometimes so we totally butt heads, but I have finally realized that he really doesnt mean it that way, its just the way he talks and he means well.

I always forget the fact that you can't hear written words. I dunno, if Rally was an ***, this could've easily turned into an e-fight. my bad.

Yah, sometimes i come off as being a jerk...but i really just liek having discussions about cars, so i like to challenge people concerning some issues. But with me, it's all in fun. And in the end, i fully respect everyone for their opinions and i like many of their cars (such as minitor's). I just like to play devil's advocate sometimes to discuss with others our shared enthusiasm. It's within the conversations where we learn the most about ourselves and others afterall
