Don't know if any of you ever saw this, I don't think they are deserving a flame, as it will only make them prouder and work harder. But just as interesting info and stuff your dealer won't tell you.

Any one who dislikes a car which has won award after award and has critics drooling all over it obviously doesn't know much about cars and driving. If another car company brought it out again but improved it so much it made our minis look shi* then I would probably get jealous too. MINIs are better than Minis ten fold (and they know it)

That site has been around for a long time.

The guy who designed it clearly needs to take some classes on how to not build a tacky website.

Why spend so much time on disliking something? If you like the old MINI's so much, why not just make a site about them. It doesn't make much sense to me...

^ ^ Because some people are just negative and get off on hating stuff. It's sad but true. I pity the poor fool that started that site up.

The purists will always be with us. (...the snobs!) I'm not surprised really...are you? I mean the classic Mini was around and little changed for a long time. However, all the US Mini owners I've met have been really enthusiastic about the MINI...totally cool. We get together often...no problem...lots of excellent vibes. Let's all work towards that. The MINI deserves to stay connected to its glorious roots.

How sad is that?
It does not cease to amaze me how there are people out there who focus so much of their energy on being negative about something they dislike, rather than being positive about something they like.
I truly feel sorry for these folks.

Wouldn't have bought a classic MINI. NIce little box, but no real style. The new MINI is all about beautiful from every angle. This guy ought to take on EVERY car maker who departs from the original design. I know it bothers some folks that MINI is really a German design now, but hey, art is art, and if I'm really buying a Beemer in disguise, then so be it. At least I can afford this one!!!

Those bmw-mini haters... it's a British thing that we yanks just don't really get. I actually think it has something to do with national pride and the pathetic state of British industry. But whatever, it's not really about the car
