MINI2

Paul · Jan 20th, 2001, 11:09 PM

Welcome to MINI2, the new web site and forum for those interested in, and eventually those who own, the new MINI.
Feel free to post anything relating to the new MINI here. Sightings of tests and prototypes, show reports, your views and hopes, anything!
Once the new MINI is released, let us know how you get on, what are they like to live with...

Most of all, be nice to each other, and enjoy!

Just when I thought I was the only person in the US excited about the new Mini, I stumbled upon your site. It is OUTSTANDING and just what I was looking for: all available info about the car. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Here's another new Mini fan. As soon as I can order my Oasis green Cooper "S", I'll be dropping the bucks down!

I've spent some considerable time this weekend retreaving early deleted messages (from Jan to July 2001), unfortunately I don't appear to have backups from August to December (there's some posts from Dec '01 still on here, but there's a gap).

Thought I'd bump this, as the very first "public" post I made on MINI2!!

And you're all still very welcome.

Rakey · Jul 11th, 2004, 09:55 AM

did you ever think back then Paul how the site would grow into the community it is today?

dinger · Jul 11th, 2004, 09:57 AM

Of course he did Rakey.

dinger · Jul 11th, 2004, 09:59 AM

Never expected it to go this far, that's for sure!

I was looking at the old posts and it does only feel like Yesterday, and some of the old names are still around, which is great.

August 2001 - 3 years is coming up.

It's a credit to Mini2 and to your hard work Paul.

AidenL · Jul 11th, 2004, 11:48 AM

A blast from the past !

You did a great job with this Paul..............

Resurrection of the old.

Paul,

Thank you for what you have created for the MINIholic (although sometimes my wife isn't so happy). There is no better source of information for all things MINI than MINI2.com.

This site has provided a wealth of information that I'm sure I never would have found anywhere else. The people are wonderful, a great mix of personalities. It has opened a window into the world of the MINI to one who has wanted a Mini, now MINI, since the 1960s.

Again, thank you for all of your time, imagination, and hard work.

A memorable moment

Look from what it has grown ... Still doing a great job Paul.

Thanks for giving us a shelter

dansmini · Jul 11th, 2004, 11:00 PM

Very cool. I have often wondered about the early days of the site.

SoggyCornFlakes · Jul 12th, 2004, 08:13 AM

Nice find

dcfkan · Jul 12th, 2004, 09:26 AM

Hello

I believe my first post has gone up in smoke now

Ah well, nevermind

monkeynuts · Jul 12th, 2004, 09:53 AM

a truly fantastic site!

Forget Rakey's Michael Caine photo roof design, i think we should set up the Paul Mullet Roof Design with the flowing mullet!

Now there's an idea......just not sure on the re-sale value of the car.

Ha ha you can just imagine the potential buyers words - "so whose this aussie bloke on the roof" - no offence but would be funny!!

Paul keep it the way it is (site-wise) and get bloody cracking with those stickers!!!!

Good work matey

m1les · Jul 12th, 2004, 04:54 PM

The site has handled the 3 years very well passing its MOT with flying colours, now lets see how the MINI's do. There will be a few MOT's being done soon, be interesting to see how we all get on.

Thanks for the last (nearly) three years.
