The MINI-related ones are already in General MINI FAQs and Advice and all the colours are already in Exterior Styling and Modifications in FAQ & DIY, so bit of a waste of time repeating them here.

Thats true and I've seen the FAQ, but the compilation that I've set up hopefully covers more of a general theme to make for a user friendly forum for all users not just the more competent user .
The above thread is only relevant to the specific to the Car Generation & addition equipment.

I think you could also add WOT as Wide Open Throttle... as it took me ages to figure out what someone was talking about the other day in the context of:

"...at WOT the noise was..."


But yes, a very useful thread, thanks!

All the best,
Andrew.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo don't explain things knowing what they mean without a jargon buster shows that you at least know something about the cars and are worthy of having a MINI.

If we explain em the site will get bogged with stupid questions like "how do I change the wheel?" :0
