Hello all,

Just got an email from the founder of North American Mini community (www.minicooperonline.com) - most likely some of you also received it.

I'll let you peruse through the whole story here:

Hopefully this won't affect Mini2.com.au (or Mini2.com in general)

Andy.

I think it will, looks like a world wide crusade and they (BMW) are going to throw the baby out with the bath water

As Paul has indicated, don't panic ... all is fine with MINI2 in Aus and OS.

So this means anything with the word Mini in it is not allowed? How about Mini Clubs that have been around for 30 odd years? I double dare MINI to take legal action. They know there's not much they can do. ******s.
