Hey Pottsy, I reckon Steve might disagree with this bit!

What a dead set wally!! He must have got a huge chunk of change from the car maker to write that!! Or then again he really doesn't understand the appeal of cars in general and flaunts/abuses his position as a "wally in a cushy chair" to bag the living suitcase out of the original legendary cars.

Simon

Well they did their best to break it over the years! I think I said something a little less derogatory, but the interview was over the phone, so it's hard to judge.

I guess that's my 15 minutes over!

Cheers, Pottsy

OMG i just read this article. What an idiot! Lets see how many BINIs there will be driving around in 2059. I am more than sure there will be 100yr old Minis running around!

He must have got paid for that by BMW for sure. He's totally not a car enthusiast in any way writing about a topic that he has no passion for. Yeah mate, there's a reason why there's a massive amount of people driving around in old cars, gee they must all have no idea and you've proved it with your article :roll: I'm so inspired I might go buy a MINI now... NOT
