2nd Gen R60 Countryman Turbo Upgraded Countryman Review

I have to sit back and laugh at the audacity of some people. I couldn't imagine asking someone to pay for something like that. It's a hobby, and here's a very basic process map of how said hobby works...

Guy likes cars --> Guy SAVES up through hard work --> Guy buys a car --> Guy gets a little too excited and doesn't do the proper research on mods and blows car up --> Guy SAVES up through hard work --> Guy fixes car and motors on --> etc etc etc.

The "saves up" part is the key. Fun like we have costs money. No two ways about it. The fact that people have donated over $1,000 to him, for which they will never get it back, is mind-blasting to me.

 

My take on all this.

As I see it, Kyle is a good kid. A bit to exuberant for me. Oh well, that is my issue, not his.

He comes from money, so what. I did too, and if my father allowed me to spend the kind of money that Kyle has modding car you'd be damn straight I would have too.

The majority of us that are bemoaning the Go Fund Me stuff are of an age where an option such as this was not out there when we Kyle's were age. Now, that does not mean that I agree with the use of the Go Fund Me for the use Kyle has chosen. I too think Go Fund Me is not for this use. I'm not going to call Kyle names for doing so and it needs to stop here. You may not agree with his mission and methods, I don't, yet I see no reason to attack him personally. Please stop.

M/A supports many MINI things out there. However, this endeavor is not one that the management of the site, me, plan on supporting monetarily at this point.

 

Guess the same can be said of you for this............:eek6:

 

Let's just give the douchebaggery a rest, it can applied to approximately 98.5% of us on here....

 

He is a member of our local Tar Heel MINI Club and I have met him a few times.. He is a typical rich kid that has grown up in the entitlement era.. Realistically his parents should have been teaching him life values.. But like most parents they want their kids to have a better life and or things then they did and they apparently have the money to see to it that happens.. If my parents had provided for me in the same manner I'd could have easily been just like him.. Luckily the one major thing my dad used to tell me as a kid was "when you start paying for your stuff you'll take better care of it" and how true that is.. That has stuck with me for years and years.. If I had a Go Fund Me thing going asking for handouts to just fund a my mods he would be embarrassed and be giving me the quilt trip to entice me to take it down to this day!! but to each his own I guess.. He has a big following on FB and it's "sub" MINI clubs etc, so I wouldn't be surprised if he reaches his money goal.. If people are willing to give him money, and he's not embarrassed to take it more power to him..

 

He needs to go to the Military...that should straighten him up.

 

^^^ this reminds me of how Batty Barry of MC2 stays in business. :lol::lol::lol:

 

I see Kyle is still testing a new turbo 30+ PSI with a Manic tune. :lol:

 

That shockwave though!

 

It's nice visual, like when the land of cool-aide found out what we already knew about the great Sprintex. :lol::lol::lol:

 

Haha

 

$1,655 as of today... Crazy

 

I wonder if $1,600 was from daddy....:rolleyes5:

Or maybe it's money people are tossing him to just go away. :lol:

 

Then personal attacks have to stop.

 

Oh dear God, like the kid is ever on M\A. He is a LXM moron.

 

There's a difference between personal attacks and facts.

Fact - Kid is a ****ing douchebag.

Personal attack - His parents should be arrested for not having used contraception.

See the difference?

 

Kumbaya, Kumbaya,

Everyone sing along now!

 

Give it a rest fellas... We know what he is, but we dont need to drag everyone on the forum through this... Thats what FaceSpace is for.
