    doesn't appear to be a very disperse group of people in the clip....i'd say they were all New York Yuppies... and I somewhat fit that mold even though I live in GA. Most of the Mini enthusiasts I meet are so different... I think the research missed the proverbial boat on covering the diversity of owners.

    "I don't like to over-do things. I like it clean..."

    I wish this rang more true in the mini community :lol:

    I don't even come close to fitting the demographic portrayed. Hence I posted this as comedy.

    :Thumbsup:Thanks Nathan for BOTH posts. While watching the video;I was thinking NAWH.............NAWH........ These aren't a Proper cross section of MINI enthusiasts.No whitehairs(like me),No southern/midwestern/new england/speech accents.No pictures of people actually working on their MINIs.No one arguing as to: JCW being better than aftermarket or vice versa.These people were making a video that MINI would like as opposed to what we hugely diverse group are really like. Mini want's proof that we are only young upwardly mobile clean cut generic condominium dwellers who's opinion is exactly the same as everyone else's.:cornut:Again Thanks Nathan:Thumbsup: Jason

    This does not make me more happy with my MINI, quite the contrary actually.
