I don't know if any one posted this yet but on tech live they mentioned MCO’s fight with BMW. It wasn’t much more then a blurb but it did present the pertinent information. Here is a link to the site tech live’s site http://www.techtv.com/news/shownotes...488510,00.html and it has links to the petition and MCO.

Wanted to provide an update on this...

TechTV has decided to fly a crew out to Colorado to meet with me this coming Monday. From what I understand the piece will air on Wednesday (August 13th). They've asked me to bring my car (the TEAM MCO car) and I hope to get a couple of other MINI owners to come out to join me.

Stay tuned and keep the petition going!

Mark

Wow! Very cool, Mark. Especially since by the 12th you should have a better idea of what's going on, right?

I would hope that we'll have better information by then. To date, neither BMW or MINI has contacted my attorney...

Thanks again for everyone's support!

Mark

Mark,

When you get the details about the where and when, we'll get this sent out to mini5280 if you'd like. Too bad I'll be in Los Angeles by then, I'd like to be there myself.

I get the feeling that MINIUSA/BMWUSA didn't quite know what MCO members were capable of... heh.
