Don't worry Lmini, we know the CVT will outrun most of the 5-speeds and S's on here. Why? 99% of people can't shift gears properly!

2minis, I realize you and L do little else but kibbitz on this site so your opinion in this matter means little to me.

i think its great how art can stir up such strong feelings in people
but again it is just art.. lets not fight about it.
its like going too a painting gallery where the particular artist paints all women. and men get upset cause they feel excluded. its there for visual enjoyment. but if you dont like it thats fine. theres no point in getting all upset about it.

i do agree with lmini when it comes to talking down about someones car. thats just not cool. but the logo doesnt do that. only stovepipe

i don't own a MINI (yet) and as the logo implies that the shifter **** is for a MINI, it excludes me, a non-MINI owner. i am offended, and demand that the new logo be changed to a generic car, preferably ugly in shape, so as not to exclude anyone here.

but what about those who don't drive....?



but in all serious, i like the new logo... it looks very cool, and better than the old one, in my opinion.

Jeez, what the heck is going on in this thread? Why all the nastiness? Calling Lauren a *****??? Shows how much you know, buddy. If I were a moderator I'd get rid of this thread altogether, or at least the childish stovepipe parts of it. This is not what this forum is all about.

oh my. so much drama. it's just art work. and when you owen the web site that the whole world goes to, too enjoy information about a car we all love, you can have what ever design you want. so sit back take a breath (and maybe a drink) and just relax...or learn how to drive a stick...lol just kidding. everyone smile!

wow, i don't think i would have even noticed if it hadn't been brought to my attention.

but now that it has, I supposed I should go make my own site with a sweet logo that has
P
R
N
D -M/S+
so I will feel welcomed, and one that is clearly a 6-speed shift **** (haha, i said ****) and one that says stovepipe so then there will be a site for EVERYONE!

but i think i will just get over it and move on with my life. what were we talking about again? oh yeah! haha, how silly

>>Fellas, what were you thinking? The new logo is obviously a six-speed shifter ****. Does this mean the group is solely for MCS owners or perhaps just those who have manual transmissions? For those of us who proudly drive CVT-equipped MCs, I don't exactly find this inviting. If I may exaggerate to make a point; if you were to use a cross as the 'new logo', any number of jews, muslims, atheists, pagans and whatever would clearly see this as a not-so-subtle message: 'Sorry, we don't want YOU here'. Change it back; it was just fine the way it was. :smile: LETS MOTOR not *****!

good lord, people...it's a freakin' logo fer cripes sake. All this name calling and religious fervor....sheeeeeesshh
When I saw the new logo, I just knew someone would take exception to it.
IT'S JUST A GRAPHIC, FOLKS!!!
Take a deep breath....in through the nose and out through the mouth.....now, think about this in relationship to the world problems in general.....and move on.

OK, Lauren called to tell me about this thread, and now here I am checking it out. I was told of some things said to her that were a bit unappropriate, and all I can say is that I am glad that a moderator erased that particular post before I could see it. Yes... you're talking to a touchy fiance here who doesn't take kindly to people calling my future wife nasty names.

Back to the topic at hand, I see nothing wrong with the logo. I like it, it's new, it's different. Sure, not everyone drives a manual on here, but here's my take on it: I see a manual shift ****/pattern, I think driving. When I think driving, I think fun. When I think fun, I think MINI! (ok, so not really, but see where I'm going with this?)

Keep the new logo! It's always good to change it up a bit.
