Why? Who wants an old outdated undersized pile of sh.t?

Well I didn't see a picture on that link (thankfully) but I have seen
other pictures and it's even uglier than the current BINI (if that's
possible), but I expect all the brain dead sheep and Mini wanabees will
buy it all the same?

But I know I won't!

And yet the HATCHBACK is a styling hint from the BINI....

Well that's all that the New BINI and now the New, New BINI are,
"replacement METRO'S!"

I WUD be seen dead in a metro, i was talking to guy this afternoon who owns
a mini around the corner from me.
He used to own a Bini in silver with black stripes, he let it go to his ex
wife in the end because it was so unreliable, always breaking down he just
let it go, then he bought a Classic Mini in the same colours and he hasnt
looked back, much happier, a car that he can play with without having to
take out a 2nd mortgage, a Phd in biology to tinker, never breaks down, no
electrix to go wrong, ah thats the life.....

I really think Bini owners, and those that rave about the new one lack
something, intelligence for starters!

Austin Maxi's, i delight every time I see one, mate at work has a '69 1800s
Mk2 in a royal blue colour, fab. another mate has a '69 MG 1300 in brown, we
all randomly parked up almost next to each other the other month with my
2001 Se7en, slightly newer, but as they are all related closely with
Issigonis being part responsible for all of them, all being transverse
engine and box, like looking at a 70's car park, although slighty out of
place there was a nissan figaro along side as well covered in chrome extras.
Across the way was another mates wifes '89 Mini mayfair, some guys 1960
Morris Minor Pickup, a cooks 1975 Mk1 Escort in bright orange and finaly a
security guys '72 Triumph Spitfire......
Lovely :-)
