Tim - 30 Sep 2004 07:16 GMT Yes, or Chrysler Neon which ever you preffer, oh and by the way its a MINI, a Mini is a British Car built between August 1959 and October 2004, the other 3 door hatch back is not, nor will it ever be a Mini...
> Isn't it true that the $26,000 Mini, has a modified Dodge Neon motor ? iBuyMinis.Us - 30 Sep 2004 08:56 GMT Stop with the ridiculousness, they are both Minis. One is an original and the other is a retro - sheesh. One would think Winston Churchill was being unearthed.
However, what BMW needs to do is install the new Dodge Neon SRT4 engine in the BINI.

They did all they could when they bought Rover to drop the Daimler-Chrysler engine (which was Rover's decision), but the design of the New Mini was too advanced to swap engines at that time and nothing else was available.
Instead, they are in a joint-venture with Peugeot to design and build a range of small engines for the MINI and the low-end BMWs.
Tim - 02 Oct 2004 04:17 GMT NO a Mini is a Mini and a MINI is a 3 door hatch back built by a german company...you will stand corrected so check your facts...after all its bloody writtenon the boot badge...sorry your a yank...the Trunk...

The best thing that happened to your car industry ion UK was foreign intervention so I would be grateful if I were you.
MINI was also written on many Minis and actually on my stupid 1972 Mayfair reshell.
And how dare you call me a yank? Can we disagree and have a healthy car hobbyist conversation without resorting to name calling?

So then why did you call me a Yank? I never said I was offended I was just curious why you would call me a yank.
A Mini is a Mini and a MINI is a retro Mini, both the same. The MINI was designed by Rover a British company.

Tim - 05 Oct 2004 02:29 GMT The MINI was designed whilst Rover was owned by BMW, the engine is from a South American plant, the body was designed by an American...or Yanky designer and its built in Cowley in the UK by German Management who are building it there only to satisfy the UK Govt requirements they had to fulfill becuase of the dumping of the Longbridge plant and work force....which the UK Govt bailed them out of several times...
But to put the matter straight....
At no time did my thread "bag" the BMW Hatchback, I only stated a fact, which is that the BMW version is called a MINI and not a Mini, its only the over sensetive who have made it an issue, personaly I couldnt give a toss about the MINI, I own and love my Minis....same way I don't give a toss about Cortinas or other Fords, or indeed anyone of the hundreds of other makes/models and brands out there.

No one is counting and the point is no more valid based on the number of response. Just state your case clearly hopefully with a valid point and stop trying to be a net Nazi.

I tend to feel a bit proprietary about this particular newsgroup, since I created it on December 5th, 1996 and shepherded it through the early rough times. Your "friendly chats" are not in private email; they are in a public forum, used by Mini fans all over the world. You obviously know this. This makes your statement about "poking my nose" into your "friendly chats" more than a little suspect. If your object is to belittle and insult people in the presence of their friends, this is not the best place to do this, since the other participants are not amused nor entertained.
It's not about what I think; it's about common courtesy and good taste.
> I hope you all are having a nice evening and a weekend ahead. I know I am. I assume this is at least partly sarcasm, considering the other content of the message. Too bad.

Tim - 07 Oct 2004 20:54 GMT Tell me just one thing. Why do youdo this all the time, you lambast people on here about being a "global Mini fraternity" etc etc, then go rip sh.t and bust at attacking people. This is not the 1st time I've seen you do this. What don't you like other people having an opion that differs from yours, or did you just have a very sad life and want to share it with us all as well?
If I was you I'd seek proffesional help for your problems, this is a Mini (as in classic) News Group, not an ask Aunty Betty news group. We are not visiting here for your amusement.
I think that from now on I'm just going to ignore any newsgroup that has your name attached to it, because you always seemto want to attack other people.

Please don't leave the group. If you don't know how to set your mail reader to ignore people's posts you don't like, email me and I'll help you. You obviously love the real Minis, so you belong with us. There's no really effective way to police usenet, except to report the worst abuses to the originating ISP. Often, as in this case, there's no blatant abuse, just a bad attitude or obnoxious posting style. That's when the "killfile" is useful.

It's about you apparently enjoying f.cking up a newsgroup by purposely stirring up rancor and resentment. That's not an activity that recommends the perpetrator.

The other alternative is for you to stop the continual attacks and bad attitude.

I would be more apt to stop reading the group, as I have done in the past.
BTW, mentioning him and calling him an idiot is not the best way to let this drop.

iBuyMinis.Us - 10 Oct 2004 03:04 GMT The best answer on all this thread.
I will not stand for childish retorts against BMW Minis in this or any other public forum.
My job here on this thread is done but I am sure someone will sink one into the bees nest soon enough.
Adios to this thread.

This used to be a newsgroup about Minis until you started this pathological persecution. I seriously doubt that I am the only person utilizing it who is tired of the unnecessarily hateful posting.
