Sorry to all the BMW Bini owners, but I hate them with a passion (the cars and not the owners)!!

They are way too big to be a mini and it is disgraceful that they are allowed to be called a mini - really gets my back up.

I parked my 205 next to a Bini a couple of months back and my 205 is shorter than the Bini and i don't call the 205 a mini....

Enough said before i get my wrists slapped by the mods.....

id change its name to a MAXI, dont get me wrong i think its probably a good car but i dont think it warrants the name!

BINIs are great cars. They as popular as focus's around here. But they arent MINIs are they at the end of the day

I wonder if we are all hostile because it was made by BMW????

What if it was made by Rover!!??

I love the BINI...great little sporty car!! here in Germany anyway they are taken to the limits, not like the poncy drivers in UK...hairdressers and strays!!

Ohhh surprise surprise!! Cilla here!! now lets be honest!! :grin:

[Pooky]

yet again! good point from bungle!

Yep even if it was made by Rover I'd still hate it.

It's physically not mini so it shouldn't carry the name

[BabyBek]

LOL @ Barnett!!

I'm not old enough to remember... but did everyone hate Rover when they bought their Mini out...

But in the matter of Bini's... alright cars, get great pleasure from overtaking them... but as has been said before, they are not Mini's.... and it's a shame that Nissan's already got the Micra name because that would have been good for the Bini!!

But Hey POOKY!! that took you 11 minutes to doubt it and decide!! you didnt know which way to go did you!!??

Its a mini by name but not by nature!! we all know its a money making scam that is pulling off in a big way!! its just benifitting from the classic car we all love...

End of story!! :fear:

think of them poor classic beetle fans, look what they have to get...

for what they are there an alrite car, i remember someone having that many problems with em tho when they were first brought out she actually got given a new one

anyways, i remember watchin a documentry on the classic mini, and the story goes that the only reason the classic mini production was stopped was because bmw where scared it would compete and take sales away from there bini

so if there scared of a car that was designed over 40 years ago they must have serious doubts about there own creation, nuff sed
