    Now three "War" songs in one day. How lucky can a mere mortal get....

    It does bring up memories of Cheech and Chong's "Up in Smoke", at least there's hope with that song.

    I hope you get the check. I guess the pressure from m/a was to much.

    Ok can we just call Barry from MC2 Bawwy and not bring shame to Snooters real name.

    Mr. MOTD deserves that respect for his name. :Thumbsup:

    If and when Barry writes you a check make sure your name and other words are spelled correctly :)

    This thread has almost 10 post and that is to way too much attention for Barry and his rag MC2.

    Long live the internet and goodbye newspapers and magazines.

    How about suing him for not having the rights to use them?

    I'm sure that Steve would take either currency from Barry.... Assuming the proper exchange rate was applied..

    However.... Dealing with an Assbarry might present some problems...

    Gentlemen!
    Cool your jets.
    As far as I am concern, I accepted Braminator's apology and I will not repost my link on LXM as instructed by him.
    My issues with Mr. Barry were finalized with my open letter, few posts before. I have nothing more to ad...

    I am not suing anybody, only Lawyers win in that game. I am moving on. I guess I have to eat up that "used rim and tire"...

    Stick a fork in it..... Done

    I understand not wanting to start a lawsuit. Trouble is folks like Mr. Berry will be learning it is OK to steal from people. I'd guess he feels it is OK because he gave you worldwide exposure for your work. I'm glad Mr. Berry is also getting much needed expose to his actions or rather his inaction's.

    All the references to (in)accuracy and misspellings led me to re-read the six year old article written about my car.

    You guessed it, it's complete with both... :frown2:

    I was interviewed by the New York Times International Edition specifically about the MINI fad about 6 years ago (Still not sure why they picked me, someone somewhere gave them my name but they wouldn't tell me who, probably the dealer or MINI USA). The end result was quite a bit different than the interview; my answers were pretty much what I said, but they changed the questions from what they asked me over the phone to what they printed in the article. The article was fine, I had no issues with it really, but they did take some liberties probably in an effort to make an uninteresting person sound slightly interesting. It was an eye-opener; since then I take all personal interest stories with a grain of salt--magazines aren't trying to sell the truth, they're trying to figure out what people want to read and sell that. They did spell everything correctly though, so there's that.

    In a totally unrelated thought, every time I see this thread, I can't help but marveling how well the thread of this title, "Mr. Barry is no Friend of Mine," fits into the song "Cisco Kid was a Friend of Mine," and now I can't get that song out of my head....

    Every time I see this tread about Barry and MC2 I get confused because its spelled correctly.

    Maybe it should be changed to: Barrie is on freind of myne.

    Why do you continue to do business with Barry? Not being critical, just curious.
