Driving a MINI has opened my eyes to BMWs. I used to hate their temprament but I wouldn't look at another brand outside the BMW group. Obviously, MINIs are far more friendly and we aren't like BM drivers. But if like me you would buy a BMW if the MINI ever gets relegated to second car status...

Totally ! Huge boot is ideal for carting around all those library books in plastic crates and tack.

Wo Wo Wo my dad had a vectra sri and it was a complete piece of **** it had 5 suspension rebuilds in 2 years it also broke the spring. He now has a new 9-3 tdi and i have to say for cruising up and down the motorways its a nice car, does exactly what its meant to, but it'll never be as good as the old 99,900 turbos they were bloody flying machines,

Anyway enough slating of Saab, well in this case anyway. Welcome to MINI driving and here's to many trouble free miles Make sure you get yourself along to your local club/pub meet or run.

Love the old Saabs and the Carlsson editions were superb. Sadly the last few years have not been kind.
As for MINI stiff, anyone going to Brooklands this Sunday ?

[huntleycat]

Look I didn't accuse you all of being BM drivers - I was afraid I might have become one! Here's a pic of a SAAB I still have - no V**X**LL genes in this one.

Are my experiences of BM garages typical though? Very little interest or enthusiasm detectable by me. generally more favourable at SAAB garages IMO

Perhaps may meet in my MINI at Kernow when next at my Mum's in Devon. How often do you meet?

BMW has made the new MINI (1st and 2nd gen) and they re wonderfull car (yes, i can say that! :P). My father drives BMW and he made me love MINI thru BMW. I think a MINI driver is a future BMW one.
@huntley cat: i think you cant sleep anymore with my post!

Glad to see the MINI drivers are still as open minded as ever

It's just lucky there arent any BM owners here for you to offend, huh?


BTW: there are at least 4, all ex-MINI owners
