Thats the way it works. If you have a mini, new or old, this is still a
news group for all.

I agree to a certain point, but don't blame me when they get given the wrong
advice :-)

No point. The wankers will still keep trolling here.

Any civilised person with half a brain reads a newsgroup for a while
before posting in it. Anyone who does so here will recognise that this
newsgroup is about Minis and not about the BMW thing.

Those who continue to post here about the BMW thing are doing so
deliberately to cause trouble. It's how the sad buggers entertain
themselves.

I think the type of person who is abusing this news group would abuse any
news group just to be a pain. I bet they would claim that their BINI is a
classic! (That's if they actually own one).

So perhaps we should accept posts from Ford owners, Mercedes owners, Skoda
owners, and all the Jap makes too, just to satisfy the idiots who think it
is OK to post any old rubbish here.

Don't worry Steve you have no chance in hell of that, I will be here to let
them know if it's a wrong advice or not and I usually send them on to
www.northamericanmotoring.com

Nope. Stop being melodramatic already and stick to the points at hand.

Just posts on old and new Minis.

Nope, I own a Moke. I will own a BINI soon enough.

Any idiot like you with no valid point to add is obviously the type of
clueless dolt you speak of.

If in your eyes this NG is for both classic and BMshite, then why has a
new-mini NG been created?
