And I'm happy with my R56.... And have absolutely no problem if a R53 wants to park next to me and be bathed with some of the R56's extra golden radiance.... Just don't park too close....

 

Jim....
Just for the record...
If I were to buy a new F56...... It would be the Justa....
And.... I would post pictures of it on M/A.....
Why... Because I would be buying it for me..... Not for someone else...

Oh..... And I would still razz you...
Why.... Justa because...rrr:rrr:rrr:

 

Dave, as the owner of an R56 Justa, I took a lot of crap on NAM and M/A. My car was bashed all day long and it got tiresome. Rum4 got his GP2 ripped so bad he was ready to leave at one point. You can say "it's all in good fun" or "I am who I am and don't care what others think", till the cows come home, but it still gets old. All the bashing of the F56 and you are not the only one doing it, will not hurt the sales of the F56 at all, but it will hurt M/A. Mt Jim stated that the bashing of the R56 did not make folks leave, but do we know that for a fact? How many new members logged on, introduced themselves, read a bit and left? Nathan has a lot of stats, but I doubt that can be judged. I can tell you for a fact, that when I buy an F56, nobody here will ever know it.

Just the way I see it.

 

I got $5.00 that says your wrong old buddy.

 

I think the F56 range will be a big seller.

I'm also getting sick of this bashing of the F56. This site is inclusive of all MINI owners. From Classic to the guppy mouthed F56. Get over it and let it be, welcome the new people that will joining with the 3rd gen MINI, don't chase them off.

 

MMS I agree. I am perfectly happy with my R56 GP. No issues and don't mind who parks next to it. Heck even Dave O. Can park the highly modified R53 next to me. It can only make that R53 look a bit more classy parked by my GP.

 

I just bought a 2014 F56 base. It is a mini certified with 4 thousand miles, $4,000 off the sticker price and I really like it. I needed to replace an old grand prix. The dealer delivered it for free, a 150 mile delivery. The computer showed it got 38 mpg on the trip. It is much quicker than second gen mc's with the base engine, but slower than a second gen S.

I chose a mini because we have a 2012 roadster S convertible, that we keep in Arizona, which I also really like.

 

And I don't see them coming back when BMW releases the latest MINI abortion. :lol:

 

Dave, I can sit in a Camry and not like it, doesn't mean I think it won't sell.

We already know you don't like the F56, but why won't it sell? Wrong pricing or marketing? You keep saying "it's ugly". The Nissan Juke exceeded sales expectations.

 

Hey, we did the same with the R56 and those owners are still here! It's all good fun!

 

Yup, you really put me in my place by calling the F56 ugly and a POS...

 

Oh great, I get razzed now because I have a (R56) Justa and next I will get razzed because I'll have an (F56) "S". I seem to be out of sync here. :lol:

 

They sell about 70 Mini's a year in Costa Rica! Of course mine is still the best Mini there! The cheeky dealer buggers even used a photo of my Mini to promote their cars even though they don't support me!

 

I'm just happy to see MINIs on the road, no matter what kind it is. The club keeps growing and we all know something other drivers don't.

 

Welcome jfc, I guess that was your first post!

I gotta say, though, this is a peculiar thread to introduce yourself.

 

yup I will cover that bet Jim.

 

$5.00 is a lame bet. I think the loser needs to add eyelashes to their MINI for the 2015 MOTD.

 

I already have them because they are Sooooo cool. :crazy: Motor On!

 

Afraid to step up and support your never ending yapping about how the F56 won't sell? There has to be someone out there that regular attends MOTD and believes that the F56 (even if they don't like it) will be a big seller with it's increased technology, upgraded interior, upgraded performance, and increased fuel efficiency.

 

I am sure you had some kind of point to make but you failed. Motor On!

Try reading what the post was about before you chime in next time.

Oh and the new F'ed 56 is ugly inside and out and the mileage is not as great as they post EVER. Don't get me started on all the BS tech.

The F'ed 56 is and ugly POS so get over yourself already and go drive your GTI.
