I say keep it like it is, otherwise the next thing will be to get a bonnet
and boot badge with 'Classic' or 'Real' written on it !

You have brought up a valid point.

Personally I don't really give a crap who post where or what. It's not as if
I get paid for this.

I just hate when well meaning folks with BINIs end up here by mistake and
they are berated for having a German this, plastic that, etc

If you notice I leave technical threads alone and let the experts go on
about that. However any thread that tries to disfavor BINIS get my oars out
of the water.

If in your eyes this NG is for both classic and BMshite, then why has a

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

Just posts on old and new Minis.

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

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.

They are all real Minis.

Why stop there, why not say alt.norevins-or-1967MPI

Wrong, but what can one expect from a top-poster. This isn't even a
forum, it is a newsgroup. A newsgroup created for discussion of the
Mini, not the phoney BMW thing driven by fashion victims with more
money than sense. If they choose to try and discuss their pose-mobiles
in here they must expect to be told the truth about their inadequacies
and failings. Alterntively, they could go and discuss the things in
the newsgroup that was created for them. Unfortunately, a tiny handful
of them seem to enjoy causing trouble. Low self-esteem, probably.

And the top-posting twerp gets it wrong again. The BMW thing is not a
Mini. The BMW thing is a different car made by a different company and
has no connection to the Mini other than branding. Anybody who does
not recognise that is, I'm afraid, not very bright. They would be the
suckers at whom the BMW marketers aimed their badly-packaged,
over-priced, conventional Euro hatch with its naff retro styling
features.

RS

That would be analogous to that old urban myth where American farmers
had to paint "COW" on the side of all their cattle so that they
wouldn't be shot by deer hunters who were too thick to tell the
difference...

Cheers,

Colin.

Moron, it's talk like these that makes me a resident evil on this group. Top
posting and all - lol.

How do you like those apples?

It's still a Mini and it's welcomed on here and will always be here.

Tough for you I know - lol.

The BMW thing is not a
Mini.

Wrong.....BMW now owns the name "Mini". Whether you like the car or
not, it is the "only" current Mini being manufactured. That makes this
the correct news group. As the name states alt.autos.mini....

read the group charter & take your mate tatiele ( aka bad apple & bossy
tech ) with you, just because a dog gets born in a stable don't make it a
horse :-)
