MINI or mini 50th Birthday

rellik666 · 25th August 2009, 01:37 AM

Even now people can't help having a dig....what does the MINI have to do.....

Argh it makes me so angry for about 30 seconds....then I realise that people are so sad sometimes and I shall leave them to their angry ****ed off lives where having a dig at something so irrelevant makes them happy......

The charm of the Mini rolls on at 50

<------Past caring what some classic owners think. They need to move on.

Others are a decent bunch who understand but still no use trying to educate those who are not willing!

Too true, but why publicise this biased point of view in the media.....anyhow....

M.O.S · 25th August 2009, 02:32 AM

thats what journalists do! At the end of the day there are certain members in the classic fraternity who don't like change and modernisation... I suppose you could say its like the BNP not liking mixed race - things do change whether for better or for worse. Im not going into politics because to be honest its not one of my strong fields but the above is the jist i've been told!

I used to just laugh off the digs from people constantly complaining about the 'BMW MINI' and what has it got to do with the mini as it's not a mini

but I have to confess it's even getting to me now

TBF they're quoting 2 people from the thousands at the IMM, and I'm sue like anything only a minority still feel that "anti". But as with most things the minority always seem to grab the column inches.

They shouldn't have gone to the BMW sponsored IMM if they were so anti BMW.

It's all silliness, but for some reason some people take it VERY seriously.

Let's not get sucked into this silliness, and make a special BIG effort tomorrow to be extra-nice to every MINI or Mini owners we come across!

It's still a great milestone to celebrate!
