No hatred. It's just another euro-hatch like there are already dozens on
the market at this time. It is really nothing special, and discussion of
the BMW Mini in this forum is just as relevant as discussion of the Fiat
Punto or the Renault Clio.

This forum is for discussion of the real Mini (not "Classic Mini", which
is the name that BMW used to rebaptize the original). The BMW has
absolutely no part in common with the Mini. The discussion of aircon
options, 17" alloys and chili packs is just as uninteresting to Mini
enthusiasts as discussion of 10" wheels, rust prevention and carb
needles is to BMW (or VW or Ford) owners.

Please take discussion of the New BMW Mini to where it belongs. ie: not
here.

I consider myself an enthusiast and I am interested in these things.

Let's Mini?

Since I am not a forum Nazi and Man shall not live by bread alone then yes
you can discuss bathroom DIY tips. Perfectly okay with me. However if that
runs you into an hypochondriac episode you might want to filter out
offending post/posters and key names such as OsiTech.Net, MINI, BINI, BMW,
NEW

Just a suggestion.

I'll see you chaps on Sunday off to try me luck in Vegas. If I win I promise
to buy you Guys rounds of beers and a few MINIs to use as shooting target -
lol.

Sorry to disagree, but, the only "current" production Mini Cooper is
made by BMW. That means this forum is acceptable for anyone with any
Mini Cooper to participate. Get a life!

Sorry, but that simply isn't true. This forum was created for
discussion of real Minis. There is an alternative forum for the
discussion of the badge-engineered abomination, which does not compare
favourably with the real thing in any respect. Those of us who
appreciate real Minis already have a life. Those fashion victims and
poseurs who have been conned by the marketers into buying the other
thing thinking it is a Mini are the ones with lifestyle problems.

Hey Mark,

Don't bother, you can't change these people, they're brainwashed and
blinkered. If they wish to remain in their own little social clique, then
let it be so. IMO I haven't seen this level of hatred since the days of the
nazis or the kkk. You can only try so hard to help these people, but when
their hatred for fellow human beings is so deeply rooted I think they are
best left to their own devices.

I and as I see others will continue to discuss both Mini and mew Mini on
here and will entertain and encourage others to do so.

You have an uphill battle my friend.
