I've been on here for more than a decade but unfortunately I've just brought a Coopers so decided to join a mini Forum and also a closed mini Facebook group
I have to be honest but the FB group is shocking
People start posts and they get absolutely ripped to pieces by others
Don't get me wrong one or two have posted pretty stupid questions but bloody hell the responses reall are quite shocking
The mini forum is as boring as watching paint dry and so far I can't work out how the hell to post anything
Well I love the car but I'm not sure I'm going to enjoy what goes along with it
Oh and they have rules
1 if you see a mini in a car park you must park next to it ........sod that, I park away from anyone else 2 if you see another mini on the road you must wave ........so you have any idea how many of these things are on the rd 3 I've lost interest now and don't care
Think I. Going to miss this lovely warm and friendly forum

You neither have to leave here nor join a mini forum. I've now not had a coop for longer than I had one (or two) and I'm still here (make of that what you will ). On the other hand, MrsWishy has owned a Mini Cooper for about 6 years now and neither of us have needed to join any Mini groups. Anything we have needed to know has been answered by Googling such groups or t'internet in general.
Up yours Photobucket.

I've just been on the mini forum and from what I can work out you need a degree in nuclear physics just to post a thread
Oh well
I do have to say thought the cooper S we brought is an absolute scream and way to fast

The thing is about the Coop forum is the very fact the choice of car & all that it stands for kinda says a lot about the owner, young or old, mind you owners tend to be on the mature side...No real surprise about the Mini forum well the BMW lot..... Forums are/can be funny places as I've said before. Again I'll relate about the forum I joined for information regarding my diesel hack. An eye opener to say the least. Aged about late teens, very bad communication skills & that included swearing/shear lunacy towards their mates. I was accused of using "proper language & spelling skills" I kid you not, things came to a head when I posted up a facetious retort to an impossible quote about this lads car, I'm not going to bore you all with too much detail, but his BHP was going to be doubled by his engine skills. Upshot was this lad & his mates were going to hunt me down & kill me..... Aye! other forums indeed........
I'm an old git & happy with it,most of the time

Mate, having had my coop since 1998, I may not contribute as much as I did... But this place is a steady barometer of normal peeps......
I know we all have our off days etc... But the grass isn't always greener...
