in your usual accusing fasion you stated that BMW could probably do nothing to make me happy... but that ignorant statement was based on the quote from the UK MINI register that mcsmik asked for as proof of what i was saying earlier.. like i said read it again and you will understand...right back at the begining i asked if anyone had had experience of BMW heavy handedness with people using the mini name, and mcsmik wanted proof so i put it up
get it the quote you posted as my point of view was the proof mcsmik asked for..
What usual accusing fashion? you don't even know me. I've never accused anyone of anything in any of the (i don't know - about 10) posts Ive ever made.
That "ignorant statement" had nothing to do with any UK mini register, or anything MCSMIK wrote. I haven't even bought into that discussion. It was purely based on my observations that you obviously hate the car, and being honest, weren't going to like it no matter what they built (because it uses a mini name and isnlt the same as the old mini) you have virtually said so yourself.

re read that again dude... that was your proof... not my words at all
you asked for proof, you got proof... then you dont like what you asked for .. so you make up something about how i might feel about the rest of the bmw opperation...
The reason I responded to this with 'what the?' is that I didn't know whether you were directing it at me or MCSMIK. I never asked anyone to proove anything.
I read your post with the proof that MCSMIK asked for, and thought that that was proof enough for anyone. I had just accepted that BMW probably do take this sort of action. Nobody has to prove it to me. I thought that what you posted however would probably satisfy anyone who doubted. I agree with nearly everything you wrote in that post. (upsetting potential customers, not learning lessons, money making decisions etc etc etc)
I certainly never denied BMW had used heavy handedness, or defended their actions in any way. All I said is that it doesn't surprise me. Here is in fact what i did say:

I actually agree that it is dissappointing when well meaning companies get shut down by BMW's lawyers, but it doesn't surprise me.
I also said that it surpised me that BMC never took the same action because whether we like it or not most comanies do it.
So, you've either mis-understood me, or you're reading things into my posts that just aren't there. I wrtie long enough posts. I don't leave much out.
Mate, I respect your choice not to like the MINI. I assume you respect mine to love it. So how about we just leave it at that.
