    Oxford, England – Inspired by the Scottish vote on September 18th, MINI plans to hold a referendum on leaving BMW Group. *Despite the Scottish referendum failing, leaders at MINI are still optimistic.

    Lol...
    I can have a vote on moving to MARS.....and regardless of the outcome, it ain't gonna happen!!
    Maybe the corporate offices can be moved...but the investment by BMW is huge...and if MINI were to be spun off, in my estimate, the debt load would result in another SABB story....
    To say the story is anything by dry SATIRE, onion style is funny!!

    Very well done. This is an example of why M/A uses the feed from The Daily Toggle and dropped Motoring File.

    I hope MC2 and Motoring File get stuck with BMW and they set MINI free to build MINI's again and not little BMW's.

    Did someone say motoring pile...er file??...lol...nothing but a PR arm of BMW? Shame...once they had actual news and some real discussions, even NEGATIVE stuff about mini/BMW...now they will not touch that stuff cause they might miss the next tip, free trip or a discount on a leased mini.....shame by selling out...they killed what they loved for free stuff...the old stuff is still useful....
    Heck even the last episode of whitroof radio (podcast) felt like a "directed" discussion to make points of PR from BMW/mini that were on motoring pile.....even trying to gloss over the late delivery of the gen3 cars...saying it was motor related...but then a newer host reminds then the cooper 2015 has the same motor as the 2014....and things got quite for a second...and they moved on..an elephant was in the room....and nobody talked about it....
    Lets hope the new feed keeps the FUN in motoring!!! Mini's are about FUN!!!
    Not uptight, overly anal retentive German management that says you can have any car in black, silver or white with a side of conspitation.......
