    Let's start a pool, to guess who gets high blood pressure, over the F56 and has a stroke first. Some of you are in the top running right now. :lol:

    I walked down a line of new MINIs yesterday looking for a new F56, and I almost missed it. I guess it's because the severely protruding proboscis didn't jump out and bite me. :rolleyes: It's not going to win any beauty contests, but it's not as severe looking in person as it is in pictures, where shadowing tends to overemphasize every line and shape.

    Every one of those has a giant nose. I can understand not picking it out. If it was in a line of R56s or R53s you sure would spot it.

    No stoke for me Jim. I'm quite happyto not have wanted one & been upset with what others are saying about it. Any folks that like them shouldn't worry what others think. Enjoy your new F56.

    Heck Jim i have chrome on my MINI, yes I said it chrome for God's sake! :D We all know chrome ain't cool. Well it is justa to me. :cool:

    Good man Crash. Don't tell anyone but, not only do I have a Juasta, it has chrome on it too. :D

    What folks think of the F56, or say about it really makes no difference to me. Everyone views things in a different light and they are free to point this out. My only problem is that some just can't let it alone and we keep hearing the same old crap, over and over and over. The F56 is what it is, so they need to get over it or buy something else and move on.

    Things will calm down eventually. Some will love the new MINI & some will even tolerate it. After all it is the New Newer MINI.

    Not with the R53 fanboys. They're still furious about the R56 and Countryman.

    I think you may be wrong about that & why do you think they are furious? Folks can not like something & not be furious or fast.

    Let the stoneings begin......I went to MAG today and looked at, sat in, and drove the F56. I like it.
    Do I like it better than the R53.....no. Do I think it ruins the brand.....no. Is it as ugly as its said to be....no.
    OK, now I'm holding on....just keep in mind that I'm an old guy :)

    No stoning from me, as I said some will like it. I'm happy you do. Now wasn't that easy?

    No stoning here. You said your an old guy, perhaps your mental capabilities have diminished. Besides I was taught to respect my elders. Even when they become senile. :lol::lol:

    Not Chuck and me. All we did was to state that, even though it's a nice car, we did not like it, and so, all the stoning began from you all in the Peanut Gallery. :devil:

    I'm an R50 and R53 fan, and am proud of it. You, obviously, are not, but let's dispense with the "furious" crap, ok? To each his own, but ya don't have to make any more of an issue about it as has already been made. I've said it before, and I'll say it again...it is ALL MINI/Mini, and it's OK. If THAT does not sit right with you, then, look in the mirror to see the problem.
