    I clicked the link you posted here to click, after the time we were told to click it.

    And...all that wait for a Hitler video? :eek:ut:

    Sorry, my post was confusing. I had posted the "secret" link that was alive while the rest of the site was down. It announced when MINI Torque was going to be up, and included the video.

    Go easy on them...

    it was started by a bunch of people who got very disaffected with the commercial changes of MINI2...

    ... and they were frustrated by the lack of performance discussion on totalMINI (the main forum that splintered off from MINI2) -- they like to call it totalFAIL.

    the site up grade was in the works for over 6 months.. when it was time , the guys thought it would be a bit different than just going off line. It was a good thought out ploy, and did what they thought it would do.

    They are back up with the new changes.

    Just me...................................

    So they thought it out well and achieved what they thought and that makes it all good?

    I know I will take flak for drawing the extreme parallels, but by using that logic we could excuse bank robberies, murders and just about everything else.

    I haven't visited the site and considering their recent shenanigans, I probably won't. To each, his own.

    Please keep in mind that the site is NSFW due to language.

    I visit there, I even chime in now and again. It's different and has more of a UK and racing slant.

    I lurk over there and post every once in a while since I am usually focused on the racing and performance areas of the forums I browse. I like the way those guys just go ahead and try things instead of bumbling and fumbling all over themselves talking cr@p about things they have not tried. "Proof or STFU" right?

    They push the envelope by actually trying every alternative available to them, which is certainly refreshing in this day and age of "keyboard" and internet experts.

    Fully agreed. Much better to try something than sit on the internet and speculate all day :Thumbsup:

    Respect for anyone that subscribes to that mentality, including the MT guys.
