Rocky,
Hail to the Blues! Hey, ain't its soooo sad the way the "REAL" Mini just beat
the holy crap out of the new Nazi "minus" at the Mini Mania at Laguna Seca
last year (Nov. 3) They were actually getting lapped by some of the real
Minis Ha, Ha, Ha! I guess that BMW had really gone all out to promote their
Hot (NOT) Mini Cooper S (supossedly it's a 163 hp car-Hah, yeah and my MGB is
a 100 hp car , Not!) Anyway I think that we should all get together and exert
pressure on BMW to cease and desist all this unfair treatment on the good
Real Mini folk who have carried the Mini banner almost singlehandedly so that
these Teutonic terrors with their Minus cars could have such a lucrative
venue, Bulls__t! There is only one real Mini and it ain't from Germany! Well,
I take that back, there are quite a few real Minis but only fake ones from
Germany!
