Troll person

Well Nicky most of us aren't replying to the Troll anymore (myself included) as we've kill-filed him via our outlook express accounts, so we don't see his filth and we don't feel obliged to answer.

Don't give up on this newsgroup, just ignore certain people or if you use outlook express, follow the guide given in one of the posts and kill-file the trouble maker.

Steve.

Dunno, she's got a point. Ok i know.... Why dont we all just get along lol

G'day, Finally another person on this NG. who would like to see some sense of civility returned to the group. I live in Australia and like to read the different perspectives of the different members of the group. I have made suggestions on here before thinking that my experiences may have been of some assistance only to be jumped on by certain people.

I have ever only owned the classic mini yet I don't mind the newer version hence I still take the view that everybody should be able to write in regadless of their preferances without everybody criticising anyone's country, parentage or the need to resort to language that as you say might be viewed by younger people and considered the norm here.

Good on you mate for trying to pull everybody back from the slagging matches that seem to get so heated at times. Regards Peter

Thing with the new version mate its not a mini, regardless what you think, I respect you for liking it but I may as well post things about Audi A4s on here, an A4 has as much right here as a new Bini, its German, its big & its frontwheel drive, do you know why the classic was called mini? do you know what the word mini means? go & find a book & educate yourself, get your self a tape measure & compare the size of the two cars, then if you want to still talk new mini go to alt.autos.newbini.

Steve.

Hear Hear,

If certain people repected other peoples passion for cars then this would be a nicer place to be around. Myself, I ignore the constant bini bashing by the regulars in here. Comments about comparing the Audi A4 to a mini are pointless, how can you be enthusiastic about a souless rep mobile (although if you are I respect that !) (I think). Mini's, old and new, have personalities and characters. The car is built in Oxford, by a workforce who are enthusiastic for the product they create. Owners of new and old socialise and mix, as was proved this weekend at Brands Hatch where we had a fabulous 2 days of racing and a brilliant 2 parade laps with mixed old and new minis. There is only a small percentage of owners who behave in this untolerant blinkered way (thankfully), 99.9% of classic owners have grown up and can respect other peoples choice. We actively socialise and encourage a shared love of cars. I'm not angry at the people that can't grow up, all it does is makes me a little sad that people still can think this way. But again, its a free society, and people are entitled to there own opinions and views, and I also respect that !

Some Brands Hatch Piccies here btw..... ftp://atschool.eduweb.co.uk/brands.html

You might find that new mini's don't out accelerate you as they don't play the 17yr olds game of wanting to race at every traffic light, you'll hopefully grow out of it someday.

Errr, yeah, right, whatever. Audi / Mini .... oh yeah I see your point.

Right, because thats what I said wasn't it Steve "Huge Exec Car". Oh, sorry, no I didn't did I - I said "souless rep mobile" didn't I, I should know, we have enough of them at work which I use on a weekly basis.

Yes, I'm sure you have, any car that is poorly maintained will rust you numpty, even your precious Audi.

Dumb yank,

Steve.

You can go in my kill file with Madmax, you f****it!

Steve.

Yes, nice articulate response.

I've ever only visited America for work, Santa Clara 3 times, 2 times to Intel in Oregon, and once to a Winhec conference in San Fran, ol' chap, but don't let that stand in the way of any of your assumptions.

I live about 12 miles from Oxford, and was born in Brighton, but like I say, don't let that cloud your vision.

Glad to mate, that?s an easy response and as about as much of a retort as I expected.

No need for that sort of language, but if that?s how you choose to interact with society, then that?s a hallowed path you a more than welcome to tread.

I'd have expected a more literary response at least trying to prove your unfounded points, but heh, I guess I was over expecting and giving you more credit than was due.

Brownz, see what I have been butting my head against. No reasoning in this newsgroup.
