Do Minis Actually Like Their New Owners - MG-Rover.org Forums

Many people talk of the success of BMW/Mini but has anyone actually asked the cars themselves? The reason I ask is I came across this quote below form the USA and it got me wondering:

"Thursday, September 30 on Folly Quarter Road near Quarterfield Road in western Ellicott City, a Mini Cooper crossed the double yellow line and struck a BMW 328i. The Mini Cooper was southbound on Folly Quarter Road traveling above the posted speed limit when it crossed the double yellow line and struck a BMW 328i which had been northbound on Folly Quarter Road".

Maybe the Minis aren't as happy about their owners (BMW) as we think.

As for the injured drivers, I wish a speedy recovery and don't wish to minimise their predicament.

Hey, at least its got the right idea of taking out a BMW, must have been one that had a british Mini spirit in it by mistake!

My (real) Mini is always trying to attack B*W's MINI when they're at the left side of it. Might be something to do with it always pulling badly to the left, though (side impact in a previous life)!
