Seeing as we're wll off-topic here, I'm going to put in my 2p worth.
Just how many of you desiring a BMW have, at some time in your life, driven
or owned a Mini?
Remember how much fun they were - yes, I said were - as of yesterday the
Mini is an extinct species - no mare are being made.
And don't be fooled by the spin from BMW - their new car, which the call the
MINI (The all CAPITALS are the differentiation :), is a mere impostor.
And as if that wasn't bad enough, BMW are also running a nasty legal
campaign against any and all (including small one man businesses) companies
trading with the word 'Mini' in their name. BMW feel they are justified
because 'they own the name'. Well, I happen to disagree - what would have if
someone decided to trademark the word 'shoe' - how would a shoe-shop ply
it's trade?
So, until they desist from this nasty, small-minded action, I will remind
anyone even barely mentioning BMW what a bunch of <expletive> they are.
