Car Forum / MINI / March 2006new mini shop needs a name!
Hi guys, you may remember me mentioning that i'm planning on opening a new mini shop in northamptonshire. I'm pleased to say that its all going well eccept for one thing, I can't think of a name to call it. I've thought up many different, wiered and wonderfull names but nothing seems to be quite what I'm looking for. Any suggestions would be great. I NEED YOUR HELP!!!!! Nathan > Hi guys, > you may remember me mentioning that i'm planning on opening a new mini [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Nathan Well as long as you don't use the word "Mini" you should be alright, otherwise BMW will jump up and down in their Nazi boots and threaten to invade Poland and start WW3!

Your acronym needs work if you have to scrape the barrel this much to get words that fit your word. You should try something like 'tard'. If you repeat the word you get somewhere close.

What's wrong with 'The Mini Shop' - other than the fact that you will probably get sued by BMW? Seriously, it's a real problem using Mini in the name. I'd go for it, though. > > you may remember me mentioning that i'm planning on opening a new mini > >shop in northamptonshire. I'm pleased to say that its all going well eccept [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > probably get sued by BMW? Seriously, it's a real problem using Mini in > the name. I'd go for it, though. Or if you can't use the word "Mini" then call it "That famous little car that changed the face of motoring, was a roaring success in motorsport, completely classless, first truly modern car and now has it's name used to promote a big ugly German lacklustre hatchback Supplies" instead? Taffy Good idea Taff, but may piss people off when writing a cheque? Also, Nathan mentions a 'new mini shop...' I wonder if he means a New MINI shop or a new Mini shop? The latter I hope Don't worry guys I am talking about a new "Mini Shop" however I do intend on selling stuff for those big, bouncy balls of tin from BMW as well but only to make extra money. We all know that there's only supposed to be one sort of mini on the road and I want to do all I can to keep it there as long as possible. > Good idea Taff, but may piss people off when writing a cheque? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > The latter I hope > Don't worry guys I am talking about a new "Mini Shop" however I do intend on > selling stuff for those big, bouncy balls of tin from BMW as well but only > to make extra money.

You are going to be busy, trying to fix all of those old pieces of scrap metal. Good to see that you will have supplies for the improved, German engineered model. Though it might take some time. I have had mine for four years without a problem.

Mind you the BINI certainly falls into that category, because after all these years and no doubt millions spent on developing the BINI (what a waste!) it still can't go around bends anywhere near as fast as an original so I don't see the BINI as an improved model at all! Oh and I've owned my 1990 Mini Cooper for 12 years without a problem too! Taffy If people like our resident twit madmax own minis new or old they will rust, real minis need a little care & attention, as for the new Bini, who gives a f**K, look at this one, 31 years old & no rust at all, I wonder how many of today's BMW Binis will still look like new in 2037, me thinks not many, madmax says I live in the past, I am taking the past into the future........ Steve. good luck with the mini shop. http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/8281/dscf00129ev.jpg >> > Don't worry guys I am talking about a new "Mini Shop" however I do > intend on [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > Taffy > If people like our resident twit madmax own minis new or old they will rust, > real minis need a little care & attention, as for the new Bini, who gives a [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > http://img123.imageshack.us/img123/8281/dscf00129ev.jpg Nice language....Why don't you just go back, to the future.

Groovy! Taffy I remember a photo of Brigette Bardot leaning over a Mini dressed in a tight sweater. Anyone know where I can find it? I google and found this http://discosantigos.com/PortfolioCOR/BB_Black_mini.jpg. Its all there Brigette Bardot, mini skirt, kinky boots but the Mini is missing.

And Brigette did inspire other 1960's/1970's beauties like actress Katy Manning of Doctor Who fame and of course singer/actress Marianne Faithful (yes she was a stunner in the 60's and there's archive footage of her being filmed and photographed while she's waiting by her then boyfried Mick Jagger's black Mini Cooper S, which is parked outside a court, because he's inside facing drugs charges. Anyway he's acquitted and he leaves court and they both jump in the Mini and shoot off down the road. http://www.allposters.com/-st/Marianne-Faithfull-Posters_c41170_.htm Okay no Mini's, but you get the idea?

Anyway their currently repeating all the Jon Pertwee era of Doctor Who on UKTV Gold on Saturday and Sunday mornings (starts at about 7am I think?) so set your video's or DVD recorders and enjoy seeing Jo in all her groovy, cute, adorable and damned sexy glory!

All the stars drove Minis in those days. Just rewatched 'A shot in the dark' - the second 'Pink Panther' movie - which features Peter Sellers' own Radford Mini. Several Mini references in the Beatles Anthology. They all had them. Back to Minis in advertising, anyone spotted the clothes ad (M and S) with Twiggy and a flower-power Mini? > >Oh yes and there's a Mini connection with Katy Manning's character Jo Grant > >in Doctor Who too, well sadly you never saw it in the show, but according to [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Back to Minis in advertising, anyone spotted the clothes ad (M and S) > with Twiggy and a flower-power Mini? Yes but the lovely Twiggy has been associated with Mini's since the 1960's, well she advertised them for years, she even had a song in the charts in the late 1970's that was used in a BL Mini advert and even though Lulu (another Mini advertiser/fan) drove the last Mini off the Longbridge production line, Twiggy popped in too and was on the news stating how she always loved Mini's and it's something as a nation we should be proud of and how she planned on buying one of the last and keeping it forever. Anyway I can just imagine Twiggy insisting a real Mini get featured in that M&S ad, oh bless! Oh and you can see some truly mind blowing and rare photographs of The Beatles and their Mini's here:- http://www.minispace.co.uk/ But pop stars and celebrities have always taken to the Mini not just in the 1960's, the rock band Ocean Colour Scene all had Mini's in one of their video's, Betty Boo (Alison Clarkson, remember her?) had a Mini and so did No el Gallagher of Oasis's girlfriend too! Anyway that's just off the top of my head. Taffy >Oh and you can see some truly mind blowing and rare photographs of The >Beatles and their Mini's here:- http://www.minispace.co.uk/ Thanks.

Taffy Now children play nice, after all the bloke just wanted some ideas for a name of a new mini shop not world war 111.

Mark > >>>>>> Oh and you can see some truly mind blowing and rare photographs of > >>>>>> The [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > Mark Well The Monkees was a blatant rip-off of The Beatles for starters, but i'm not complaining as I quite like The Monkees too and their 1968 movie Head is rather good as it happens, okay it's a bit odd, but the music is excellent! And okay I didn't mean to knock Americans as such, I just think Madmax was a bit rude to knock The Beatles that's all. >Or Yanks who have no history and have to rip-off famous bands and famous >movie's, like say "The Italian Job" and "Get Carter" for starters. Can we leave out the knee-jerk anti-Americanism please, Taffy. Some of our greatest Mini enthusiasts are US citizens. One of them founded this group. Just because our resident troll is an American doesn't mean we have to tar them all with the same brush. |t's not even clever. >>>>Oh and you can see some truly mind blowing and rare photographs of The >>>>Beatles and their Mini's here:- http://www.minispace.co.uk/ [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > was dangerous, sex was safe and the music changed the world have to > make allowances for you children. Music changed the world, My a.s! Music is music. Maybe it was the LSD you were on, that changed "your" world. By the way, I have a great browser set up perfectly. It's just a crappy web site. The fricking beatles, more popular than God. I think not! Spoiled draft dodgers. American music rocks, british music, yuk. Well as you didn't live in the UK in the 1960's, then obviously you wouldn't know that yes the music by bands like The Beatles and fashion and culture really changed Britain and many other countries around the world too. As for the UK, at the start of the 1960's, we were still really getting over the effects of WW2 and it was a very grey and to some extents poor and damaged country. Then when the 60's kicked in with The Beatles, 1960's optimism, Mini car and Mini Skirt, psychedelia, suddently the future looked good and everyone thought they'd be holidaying on the moon quite soon. Anyway the 1970's happened and we got industrial action and power cuts and punk rock and it all went tit shaped, but we still had the Mini, that's the main thing! Oh and Britain never entered the pointless Vietnam war anyway, so why call The Beatles draft dodgers exactly? And yes they were indeed bigger than God or Jesus or whatever back then! Anyway I think Elvis is greatly overated myself and apart from The Doors, The Byrds, Crosby Stills & Nash and a few other bands from the 1960's, we really have the best music here in Britain. Still not convinced, well how about the mighty Pink Floyd? Their 1973 album Dark Side Of The Moon was in the US charts for years! So stick that in your Pipe and smoke it! > Well as you didn't live in the UK in the 1960's, then obviously you > wouldn't know that yes the music by bands like The Beatles and fashion [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > > So stick that in your Pipe and smoke it! Bigger than God , only in their eyes. People in the U.S. burned their records , when Lennon announced the beatles as being bigger than God. As far as the other music that you are talking about, sort of a long time ago, don't you think. Old has beens, like your outdated car. Well like they said in The Beatles spoof called "The Ruttles" which really was Monty Pythons take on The Beatles, Americans bought Ruttles/Beatles records to burn them, so record sales went through the roof! But no The Beatles were huge all around the world, so yes they were as big if not bigger than God back then i'd say and they were damned talented too, just look at their back catalogue and number one hits! As for the other music, well I was just refering to the American stuff I like, which yes tends to be from the 1960's too as I don't particularly like anything else that came from your country in later years, but as your a mere child you'd probably know nothing about bands like The Doors or Jefferson Airplane? Oh and my car isn't outdated and probably never will be as the majority of cars on the road today are based on the Mini, but none are packaged quite so well and few are as much fun or exciting to drive! Oh yes so you can poke fun at the silly sodding Muslims who get all upset over a couple of cartoons (well did we get upset after Monty Pythons Life Of Brain? God no, we just fell about laughing!) but you consider burning Beatles records correct for their claim on being bigger than Jesus/God? > Oh yes so you can poke fun at the silly sodding Muslims who get all > upset over a couple of cartoons (well did we get upset after Monty > Pythons Life Of Brain? God no, we just fell about laughing!) but you > consider burning Beatles records correct for their claim on being > bigger than Jesus/God? If people want to burn records, which they did, more power to them. Non violent disposal of unwanted junk. And yes, when someone is so full of sh.t as John Lennon, I would never buy any product made by him. > > Oh yes so you can poke fun at the silly sodding Muslims who get all > > upset over a couple of cartoons (well did we get upset after Monty [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > violent disposal of unwanted junk. And yes, when someone is so full of > sh.t as John Lennon, I would never buy any product made by him. But that's just it, it a was violent action as the bloody stupid backward moronic Klu Klux Klan incited it and it's because of their stupid threats that The Beatles quit touring too. Well maybe you wouldn't buy anything by John Lennon, but who cares as millions upon millions of Beatles and John Lennon records have sold over the years, so I'm sure it's of no loss to the world, but like I said apart from music and bands from the 1960's (most of who were influenced by The Beatles anyway) I really don't like much music that has come out of the USA since. Well most of it sounds like Spinal Tap stuff and is pretty crap! And lastly John Lennon was definitely not full of sh.t, for starters he was against the pointless Vietnam war and it's a great loss that he was murdered back in 1980. But then when your bigger than God, you really shouldn't walk about in public, especially after dark in New York City! Taffy >>>Oh yes so you can poke fun at the silly sodding Muslims who get all >>>upset over a couple of cartoons (well did we get upset after Monty [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > Taffy The KKK threating the beatles...hmmm, OK. The reason they quite touring was because the band fell apart. Which it had to do, because the members were so full of themselves they could no longer work together. No the real other reason they quite touring is so they could spend more time in the studio creating successful albums like Sgt. Peppers, Magical Mystery Tour, The White Album, Yellow Submarine, Let It Be and Abbey Road etc! Hardly a band falling apart really! And they weren't full of themselves (well Paul McCartney is a bit now) at all, they'd just grown tired of being a group (they'd been together for years after all) and their partners were getting in the way too as John was more interested in spending time with Yoko Ono than with the rest of the band. Anyway they were a 1960's phenomenon and they knew when to call it a day, but they continue to inspire other acts even today. >The KKK threating the beatles...hmmm, OK. The reason they quite touring >was because the band fell apart. Which it had to do, because the members >were so full of themselves they could no longer work together. This is really getting rather a long way off topic from the fact that the Beatles were all Mini enthusiasts, but still.... the Beatles split up long after they had stopped touring. The main reason they stopped touring was musical.... because of the hysteria they couldn't hear themselves play, were rushed from venue to venue without time to practice, and were simply not playing well. They hated the fact that nobody was listening and nobody cared, particularly as they had been one of the best live bands in the world before ever making records. (If you doubt that, you can get a sense of just how good they were live in Hambury and Liverpool from the early BBC live radio recordings.) That's why they went into the studio and produced the greatest studio albums ever. The break up came years later, paradoxically at a time when they were again considering playing live. Also, John Lennon never said the Beatles were bigger than God, he said they were bigger than Jesus. This was an off-the-cuff remark and referred to their enormous popularity at the time, not their spiritual importance. Unfortunately, this was taken out of context by the type of small-minded fundamentalists who infect all the world's religions and hyped into an 'issue'. Despite the well-publicised, staged demonstations at the time, it had zero long-term effect on the Beatles' poopularity or the sales of their records. All the above is very well documented in the serious biographies. There really is no excuse for getting it wrong. > >The KKK threating the beatles...hmmm, OK. The reason they quite touring > >was because the band fell apart. Which it had to do, because the members [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > very well documented in the serious biographies. There really is no > excuse for getting it wrong. Well I think Madmax has now given up because as usual he can't take being proven wrong. Anyway John Lennon was nice enough to publicly apologize for the comment he made (which as you said was an off-the-cuff remark, which as ever the media used to create a storm), oh and after that comment it's said that Brian Jones of The Rolling Stones said that "if The Beatles are bigger than Jesus, then we're bigger than the Anti-Christ!", anyway nobody seemed bothered about that! And anyway nobody would be bothered if a rock band claimed they were bigger than Jesus or God or whoever these days and even if they did cause offence and upset, most rockers today would refuse to apologize and just tell everyone where to go! Taffy > > >The KKK threating the beatles...hmmm, OK. The reason they quite touring > > >was because the band fell apart. Which it had to do, because the members [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] > > Taffy Oh yes and I bet Madmax/Mark didn't even know anything about Jim Morrison of The Doors or Grace Slick of The Jefferson Airplane, no I bet he just looked them up on the net and pretended to be aware of them? Taffy > Well like they said in The Beatles spoof called "The Ruttles" which > really was Monty Pythons take on The Beatles, Americans bought [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > of cars on the road today are based on the Mini, but none are packaged > quite so well and few are as much fun or exciting to drive! A mere child huh? I listened to Jim Morrison and Grace Slick, back in the day. I just grew with the music and now listen to better stuff. Obviously you are not a God fearing man, may you rot in hell. Perhaps in your little mind, the beatles were more powerful and popular than God. But again, you would be wrong. No i'm not a particularly God fearing man, because if there was a God, things like 911 for instance surely wouldn't have happened? And religion and beliefs have been responsible for some of the worst wars, terrorist attacks and events in history! So when you get a group of talented young men together like The Beatles who spread rather a lot of peace and love around the world, without the need for any form of religious cults or violence, then I consider them bigger and better than God or any religious nonsense I think? > No i'm not a particularly God fearing man, That explains a lot about your problems...... > So when you get a group of talented young men together like The Beatles > who spread rather a lot of peace and love around the world, without the > need for any form of religious cults Actually they were involved, very heavily, in a religious cult. As far as spreading peace and love, don't forget about them also spreading drug use to the youth of the world. > > No i'm not a particularly God fearing man, > > That explains a lot about your problems...... I haven't got any problems mate, I can assure you i'm a very happy well rounded person as it happens! > > So when you get a group of talented young men together like The Beatles > > who spread rather a lot of peace and love around the world, without the [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > as spreading peace and love, don't forget about them also spreading drug > use to the youth of the world. What religious cult was that, oh the Guru Yogi bloke? Well that was just Hippy stuff and nonsense and they soon sussed him out to be a fraud and as for spreading drugs, well it wasn't until they toured the USA and met people like Bob Dylan that even got into drugs in the first place (when it came to taking drugs, most bands did and still do indulge and The Beatles certainly didn't spread drug use to the youth of the world, well it didn't make me take to drugs for starters!). Still LSD did help with the Sgt Peppers album (Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds?), but then many creative people had/have their hang ups I guess? Anyway your a fine one to talk as you admit to smoking pot or whatever in your pipe! So don't go passing judgement when your certainly not perfect yourself mate! Taffy > I haven't got any problems mate, I can assure you i'm a very happy well > rounded person as it happens! Sounds like you are trying to say that you are pleasantly plump. > What religious cult was that, oh the Guru Yogi bloke? Well that was just > Hippy stuff and nonsense and they soon sussed him out to be a fraud and as [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > (Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds?), but then many creative people had/have > their hang ups I guess? So basically what you are saying is that the beatles were weak minded. Following fraud religion and because other celebrities were using drugs, they should also. Sounds about right. Anyway I'm really tired of you, so you may have the last word. Goodbye. No they weren't weak minded, they were just following the Hippie dream like most people were back then, but once they sussed that Guru was a fraud, they appeared on TV to say that they'd made a big mistake, oh and John Lennon even apologized for his comment on being bigger than God too! So they experimented with drugs, big deal, but they weren't casualties of the substance like say poor Jimi Hendrix, so really when stars like him die from drugs, surely this can be seen as a warning to stay away from the stuff now? So your tired of me eh? Or are you really tired of the fact that you know very little and don't like being proven wrong? Anyway goodbye too!

No I live very much for today, but I do appreciate certain good things like say The Beatles from the past, but although I own all their albums on CD, I rarely listen them now. And calling you a child wasn't meant as a compliment, no it really meant you have little experience of the world and things of historical significance. Taffy "Our Mini Shop" (meaning Small) or "I own a Mini" ( a Statement) or "My other car is a Mini" (again a statement) would these come under copywrite law I wonder, Fitzy >> you may remember me mentioning that i'm planning on opening a new mini >>shop in northamptonshire.
