I've seen reports of a couple on mini2.com, but cars catch fire all the
time.
I'm sure good ol' Nickolette Cambell wouldn't have been hard pushed to find
owners of any car who wanted to go on TV for two minutes of pikey fame and
complain in hope of getting a free lunch.

I think with any car/boat/bike/tv/computer/horse/football team that the
unhappy owners get the airtime. Remember also, nothing travels as fast as
bad news.

The press are happy to bash something that has bought lots of
jobs/prosperity and regeneration for a part of Oxford that was only famous
for the Zodiac nightclub, pubs, drugs, currys & kebabs previously.

I wish I had someone to complain to everytime any of my old mini's broke
down, didn't start, ran like a dog etc. (poor maintenance admitted).

It makes me smile this bickering when someone can get their facts so wrong,
the Bini was engineered by Rover engineers in series of prototypes called
the Mini Spirtual as in Spiritual successor to the original Mini Design.
http://www.jyanet.com/cap/1999/0919fed.jpg
They were far from a finished article when BMW took over, they abandoned
thier long awaited cereal box on wheels, the E1 to concentrate on the Bini.
http://www.unixnerd.demon.co.uk/e1.jpg
BMW kept the Rover engineers working on the project, they also needed these
Rover specialists to build a production line at Cowley, BMW werent just
gonna turn up and hope to assemble it without help from Rover!
It was tested extensivly in the UK including a place near where I live, TRL,
which just happens to be in eye sight of BMW towers, UK HQ.
Production of the Bini started when production of the Rover 25/45 moved to
Longbridge, Rover engineers still build the Bini to this day, they are also
instrumental in the redevelopment of the car. Cowley has a long history of
producing Morris Cars, and was were MG sportscars where also once built.

I laugh when people pillary either way to be honest, The Mini is in my
opinion one of the greatest cars, but not in the build department. The Bini
is far from greatness, far from it, even the Renault 5 has more history and
greatness than a Bini, look at the Renault 5 rallye for instance. The Bini
is made by unhappy Former Rover employees that until 6 years ago where
making the Rover 600, even if i wasnt a motor head, i would seriously
consider not buying a Bini.

on this group
Then, you come out with "...I prefer cars that are designed for the
comfort of adult humans. Come on guys, lets go at it. "

"Come on guys, lets go at it" That's not standing up for yourself,
that's baiting.
You say you don't use, and that your ISP doesn't peer through prodigy,
LIAR !! I notice you didn't reply to anything to do with NVBell did you
?? They use prodigy as upfeed and downfeed on their NNTP streams
You don't need a license for street racing ROTFLMAO a drivers license
would help. Thats not racing! That's trying to go quicker than someone
else on the road, simple as that.
There's a few contradictions for you

"Full of shit" ? the entire digestive tract of the human body does not
account for 15% of the human body, so, therefore is a physical
impossibility.
"An ass hole" The word is arse not ass. An ass is a donkey, not a rectal
outlet. If you actually meant arsehole then, no, I'm not.
You however, for a fact, have a low IQ, this is proved by your general
lack of grammar, bad spelling (even for an American) and in your TOTAL
inability to comprehend what anyone (including YOURSELF) is pointing out
in their posts.
Face it, you're now OWNED ! Show some of your school friends these
posts, so when you tell them you're so apt and clever, they too can see
what a jumped up and SO WRONG a twat you are.
If you're going to try trolling I suggest you listen a bit more intently
at school and actually learn something.

I said 'Sentences never begin with "but"', I didn't say YOU couldn't
begin a sentence with the word 'but'. This means that SENTENCES never
begin with 'but' which in turn means YOU cannot construct a sentence
properly !

Stay in school, listen to your teachers, learn things, improve yourself.
One day, following those instructions, you can get a job when you're old
enough and buy that piece of crap BINI you dream of so much.
Don't bother telling us that you're too old to be a school child,
because for arguments sake, if you were, your IQ REALLY, TRULY, is very
very low and you'll NEVER be able to catch up with the rest of the human
race.

Also, if you swear on usenet it's netiquette to obscure some letters in
the obscenity, also, in the US I think you'll find it's a legal
requirement as minors can access newsgroups and your dad, when he signed
up with NVBell, would have agreed to their terms and conditions.

HTH :-)

Jeesh, people are individuals.
Individuals like different things.
If we all liked the same things; cars, food, beers, wines, music, partners,
films then we would be inanimate conforming automotons (sp?).
I happen to have liked all the cars that I've owned; [1] Mini's, MGB, MX3,
Ovlov 360 (it was fun int the wet), Passat 1.8 Turbot, Bini Cooper & Now a
Bini Cooper S.
I respect other peoples views and encourage their love and passion for
whatever they choose as their item of affection.
If you look at the first post in this thread and look at the root website
for the piccy that was posted, you'll notice that its for a mini club which
welcomes all, and does not persecute members if they own any brand that
chose to sport the mini badge at that point in time.
Luckily our local mini enthusiasts club has the same outlook on life and
welcomes old and young metal with the respect both deserve.
Our cars are not lifeless boxes that are farmed out to the masses, we all
choose to cherish, modify, fettle, and generally socialise around the cars
we own.
As soon as people can see through the tossers like max out there who are
just amature troll bait, and realise that we all share a common love and
passion, then life will be so much better.
No matter what you drive, may it be a rusty old 850 or a JCW Cooper S,
you're always more than welcome to stop at mine for a coffee, and if I see
you at the roadside I would always stop and offer assistance.
Anyway, as you can tell, I'm just back from the pub, the pillow is looking
inviting and the cat is looking far too settled in the middle of the bed.
Apols for any schpeilling mishtaikes, but I'm not proof reading when
focusing is a chore.
See you guys around as I'm dropping out of here for the summer months to
work on my little restoration project, allthough I may be back for advice if
its forthcoming ;-)

If you say so, Mr. brilliant.

Actually, if you knew how to read, I said that I race at a local race

Except, of course for you. You are totally full of shit!

Arse, is not the correct word in America, it is indeed "ass". Which you are.

Read your own posts. That would make you a total idiot.

No, I may be black, but I am not owned. You stupid white ASS hole.

I am not trying to troll. By your asinine responses, I am very successfully.

Who really give's a shit. BUT you.

I own many cars, including a mini.

Is this all you can come up with? Talk about low IQ's.

My father passed away, many years ago. So go back to fucking your
mother, who is really your dad's sister.
Oh yea, I forgot, shit, fuck, cock sucker, motherfucker. How is that for
net etiquette, you pussy. Netiquette is not a word, moron.

I DO say so, you asked me to bet on the FACT in a previous post, I bet
YOU OWE me, thusly YOU ARE OWNED !
"ROAD RACING" you said, that requires a 'road', maybe you meant 'track
racing' or 'circuit racing' I'm not changing anything YOU said.
I do know how to read and I do so in a methodical manner, due to this I
know how to write aswell, unlike your pathetic ramblings and contradictions.



definitely want to know about it ! Remember ANYONE can be a racist, no
matter what colour they are. You have just proved YOU are racist.

On a slightly different note Nevada Bell say ...
"and from posting to a newsgroup, bulletin board, or message board, the
same or substantially similar unsolicited note, whether commercial or
not, twenty-five (25) or more times per day through the use of the

the Member, including damages or an iFor each day that this provision is
violated, Member shall pay the Company $50.00 per day for unintentional

READ THAT ! You are VASTLY violating that clause and you'll have to pay
$50 dollars a day ! However, you make these posts daily and deliberately
to this group so that's $500 a day. If anyone puts a complaint in to
NVBell along with a cleanup claim (to remove your posts from their
servers or home users PCs, NVBell will pass those cleanup charges onto
you ON TOP of their $50/£$500 charge ! You'll lose your DSL connection
and NVBell are contractually obliged to pass you details on to other
ISPs so you'll be hard pushed to get reconnected to the 'net. Face it,
you'll have to use 'net cafes for 15 mins a day to try and troll :-)

Who's the idiot ??


Not at all !

cars you own. AWWWWW Bless 'im :-)

are the most pathetic one ever. I thought you'd improve a bit but NO you
get consistently worse. Your posts get shorter and shorter, the grammar
gets worse, the spelling gets worse and frankly in under a week you
REALLY REALLY are getting too predictable and too boring.
Trolls invariably do this, I'll tell you why and this is fact ..
They start off wanting an argument for arguments sake. They start off
thinking they are funny and truth be told SOME of them are at first.
Then after a while they get shown up, just a little bit and then start
to lose arguments and resort to personal attacks on people and just
start swearing. The reason they do this is because they constantly think
about the virtual slapping (remember me mentioning that in some previous
post), well they think about the virtual slapping they got, it starts to
eat into them ALL DAY.
Eventually it becomes all consuming for them and they just fall apart
from the inside. They start to lose sleep over it, thinking about all
those posts when they lie in bed at night, then their health starts to go.
