MINIs on the Discovery Channel...

[agent_spacemonkey]

Okay, I'm sure I'm not the only one who mangaged to see a fast clip of the MINI on the Discovery channel's "Seven Wonders: automobiles." Which by the way I'm happy to know that it comes in second out of the top seven, only to be beaten out by the Ferrari. However, I thought it was rather unfair that it didn't get the points of view from the owners. I'm sure many people on this list would have loved to say something about their MINIs! They did it for every other car...how rude! Then to add more insult, I was amazed at the end of the show when the recaped all the cars and their standings...only to skip #2: the MINIs! What is up with that? People don't know how to count so that they think "oh yeah it's 3...then 1"?! Those in the states (and where ever people get their Discovery Channel) can see their stupidity by searching online under tvguide.com or something. Maybe someone will be able to answer my question on who the narrator was 'cause his voice sounds very familiar. Okay, so I've publicly vented... Have a good day...I know I did yesterday as I saw over 6 MINIs on the road. I'll own one one day...just as soon as I get the money and free of most of my student loans...*deep sigh* I even made a music list of what songs I want to play in my future Cooper...I have titled it "Sweet Ride."

PS.
I know that this posting will probably be moved, but I wanted to post it under general discussion 'cause I've noticed on a lot of message boards people don't read every different topic section...but they do definately look at the general discussion section.

i was watching that program as i was falling asleep last night. i think the vw beetle was #2...not the mini. and then they mentioned that the mini was *like* the beetle (revamped and brought back) and may surpass the beetle in popularity. so really the mini part was just a part of the beetle segment. at least that's what i gathered.

whatever. i certainly think the mini has *always* been cooler than the beetle, and of course it deserves the #1 spot!

haha i wnat to see this show now... Nah... I think ferrari deserves the #1 spot... but the beetle #2?? NO WAY!

The VW Beetle (original) was #2.
The Mini was in there a another significant car so it was nice to get it mentioned. Although I think in reality the Mini contributed more to the current industry that the Bug did the difference was that we could get Bugs by the truckload here whereas you just about couldn't get a MINI.
