MINI got sued over the transmission fluid, which MINI claimed was "Lifetime"

read about it at http://www.norcalminis.com/2013/10/mini-sued-over-lifetime-transmission.html but when some transmissions failed, due to not periodically changing the trans oil, this got someone upset enough to file a lawsuit limited to the following models: 2002 through 2006 R53 Mini Cooper Hatchback S model vehicles, 2005-2008 R52 Mini Cooper Convertible S model vehicles, 2007-current R56 Mini Cooper Hatchback S model vehicles, 2008-current R55 Mini Cooper Clubman S model vehicles, 2009-current R57 Mini Cooper Convertible S model vehicles, and 2011- current R60 Mini Cooper Countryman S model vehicles

Skip the 1st 30 seconds, and you won't need to see the last 20 seconds either... just watch them back flip a Mini

Bureaucrats should be flogged: Reason #71

The United Kingdom's Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has banned this MINI billboard along the country's A532 road. Accordng to MarketingWeek the ASA stated it banned the advertisement because: . . . the large number of lines in different colours would give those who saw the ad the impression of a fast-moving vehicle - an impression exaggerated by the wide format of the poster.

The regulator also said the use of the word “fun” in conjunction with the imagery of a vehicle moving at “excessive speed” in a built-up environment was likely to encourage dangerous driving and ruled the ad was “irresponsible”

"Some Kind of Wonderful" mini

the movie is good late 80's movie, typical high school storyline about the cool girl and the guy from the wrong side of hte tracks that falls in love with her, but doesn't realize his female best friend is in love him all along.

Eric Stoltz, Mary Stuart Masterson, Lea Thompson http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0094006/?ref_=sr_1

1967 Subaru 360, so small it fits in a pickup truck bed

compared to a 50's Belevedere, its a very small car!

Mini Mach 5 spotted in the Lowes parking lot

the owner was cool and chatted with me a minute, this is her 3rd Mini in a row, she had her 1st when they were new in 2002, kept it for 8 years, got a new one just before they rolled out the proto-type of this one, and traded in her year and a 1/2 old mini for this one that she had made into a Mach 1 livery
