You've got that right .As the author of a thread that managed to get a whole bunch of people's knickers in a bind because the tongue in cheek title, A lot of people take things waaaaaayyyyyy too serious. So if the intent of the original pst was comical, then . If not, then . Just remember, Time's fun when your having flies

I'm 70 year old and my tongue is very near my cheek. And I have a "Actual Size" sticker on my Cooper S.

If the OP's comment were intended to be comical, fine....but they need to invest in comedy lessons because their skills are abysmal. If the intent was to get people riled....what a waste of time. All they did was lose friends and isolate themselves. An ill-conceived strategy either way.

The world is a big place. Most of us have room for others.

Most of us.

I have to say that we don't have too many of cutesy Minis around here....
I usually see just stock commuters or performance modded

Oh, good. For a minute, I thought you were like that other NSX guy. He, too was a lover, not a hater -- just the wrong kind of lover, apparently.

What? He thought she was old enough.

"all those who drive Minis desecrated with artsy-fartsy, cutesy-poopsy doodads"

Quirk envy?
Fundamentalist?
Either way, there is a place for you in the MINIverse my lad.

I think he's just pulling our collective chain


I see more MINIs driven by The Unobsessed than by True Enthusiasts. Unwashed cars, dented up, slapped-on bumper stickers... I saw one with a small chest o' drawers strapped to its roof on I-95 on Sunday.

I always feel bad for those MINIs ... but what can you do? Call the ASPCM?

And I'll follow you around, honking every so often, and making people think that we hang out ALL the time.

You just wait.





So glad my classroom is empty right now!

Wow....that post is pretty funny. I haven't been on NSX prime since my NSX lease ended in 2006. Looks like I've been missing out on some good stuff.
