1 more thing. In the way of BINI drivers here, they think they're so cool... They have No.plates saying 'KOOPA'. Epic fail. It's bad enough they have no appreciation for the good ol' mini but then to defame the new one with a No.plate like that? Urgh.

Ok so i'm from Mildura and I am ace.

The end, again.

unfair generalisation there thanks, we have both old and new minis and love them as theyre both good cars, and not all people want to stop for a 10 minute chat just because they own the same car..

GOZARD sounds fairly original to me. i havent heard of it or know where it might have come from. probably an in-joke with mates or something, who knows, fact it is thats what its called.

As for EN333K, so what, some commonwhore driver stole the proper spelling ages ago, when his rusty, thrashed, trashed, bombed out bucket of one in a million heap of junk isnt really that 'UNIQUE'. As mini owners we all know that no two mini's are the same and therefore they are all UN33k

That last paragraph was not meannt to offend commodore drivers - I'm a holden man myself but cant stand VN-VY commodores. Especially the people who are like 'durrgh i put a chevy bage on my bute but cant use spanna enouf to change the grylle'

I'm guessing GOZARD is short for Goes Hard?

All my usernames for everything, chat etc over the years has been 'unique' and it happened to be fitting enough for my car. That and it can then be used on any car. As for GOZARD.. Yeah, 'Goes Hard'. Parents got it for me for my 18th, they thought it was hilarious. I thought it was more so hilarious when i was asked many times whether the plates were meaning the car or the driver. I don't think they're epic fail.. The spelling is irrelevant. But when you see a no.plate like KOOPA, sitting next to a badge on the car saying Cooper.. My opinion is that it looks somewhat stupid and just defames 'Cooper'. Heck it's just an opinion though.

I have both yes.. I was bagging out the people the drive new ones because they just think it's a cool car.. can't expect them to do the mini wave, they're not aware of it since they don't own an old one.. I'd say there are more BINI drivers that just bought them.. cos they could.. than there are BINI drivers that bought them to drive daily and preserve their real baby. So i'm not bagging the cars themselves. I suppose it's just stupid to expect all BINI drivers to wave.. I was all what the! at first, now i sort of don't wave til they do.. because half the time they don't.
