    It's done, It's Over.

    MINI is still going to make the car no matter how much some of you act like 2 year olds and continue to cry about it. I'm sick of reading the posts on how ugly, how stupid, how fish-like and how disappointed some of you are. That is not the Motoring Alliance way. Sure, you may tell others to go Motor On, but thats tempered with a sly smile. The F56 bashing is no longer like that here. It has become annoying and will no longer be tolerated.

    I don't want to hear the argument that it is not the person who owns one but is the car that is being hammered. Yeah well, too bad, it has to end.

    This is also not helping my stress level. So before you come up with some retort to this post keep in mind I don't care. You cannot convince me it is OK to continue to bash the F56.

    Embrace it. You might be surprised.

    As long as I can still say true and unkind things about Fiats here, I guess I can live with that.

    Well well well now we can't be fanboys of the F56?

    Why not just make an F56 only site? Just like the classics have.

    Just we are crystal clear.

    F56 fanboys are still ok right ?
    R56 and R53 bashing is still allowed?

    Out of respect for Nathan, M\A and his health issues let's just stop and let all the different Generation car bashing go for a while. Including the New F56.

    Piece offering


    p.s. Rick I will still make fun of your car but only in PM's. :lol:

    I agree that the bashing has gotten way out of line from a few, ONLY because we fellow members are fully aware of how some folks feel about the F56........enough is enough, we know how you feel, move on.

    And the childish signatures only add to an already tarnished episode on M/A.

    Honestly, I've never hated the R&F56s. They made me love the gen1s more. I'll shut up now....Hope Dave will, too.:biggrin5:

    I wasn't a big fan of the F56 at first but it is growing on me... slightly, I will never get rid of my R53... however a second MINI could be put in the stables...

    I have a proposal. How about we mock the Prius and Smart Cars? :D

    I didn't like the R53s when they came out, but they grew on me. And then I ended up with an R56, and love it. Its all good, we are all car enthusiasts. We all have cars we intently dislike, like Smart Cars and Fiats, but we also have cars we love. And thats not always going to match up to everyone of us.

    Warning an old farts thoughts are below.

    Like it or not the new F56 is the new face of MINI. I'm pretty sure most folks know how I feel about that so no rehash here.

    To continue to bash away at it will not change a thing. Either love it, get used to it, or ignore it. The continual bashing is not helpful at all. In fact it is most likely driving folks away & keeping new ones from bothering to come here.

    Old Fart ramble over..... :sleep:

    I'll just go read only from here on out, with (very) few exceptions having nothing to do with MINIs....
