I'm the founder of the Club Mini Italia (the biggest new mini owner club in Italy) and also the admin of the Facebook page, which is invite only so it's more a group of friends that hang around ( for example ten of us was at a disco here in Mantova last Saturday) and FB is used to share the pictures of the events,new parts fitted on the car posted by phone etc...

Thank you I agree 100%. I swear I've seen your bumper sticker before. Do you happen to know someone first initial S. Yoo with a yellow MkIII and dark green MkII?

Why do we need a Facebook group if we have this forum....I just got a "friend request" here on the forum...why do we need friend requests? Or maybe I'm just a little tired of all the social networking that people love to do.

Most likely because someone thought you were cool. Knowledgeable and not like every other noob on the forum. Lol

And I've become accustomed to this forum. You find some really knowledgeable people on here and sometimes you can even find a great debate/argument you can fight back and forth with without having the other person blantly cuss you out.

Like the Censorship thread I opened up. Opens my eyes to different views. Lol

So I posted the new production version photos/vids to my FB and people are commenting on it like...

"I get the feeling stateside it might be considered a girly car like the tC was"


And nobody but I am there to defend this car. :facepalm:

Toyota wants chicks to buy it. He'll they stated that in a video and they made it with an automatic. How much more proof of a chick car does one need?

Guess we'll all just have to put racing stripes and flames on the sides to make the car manly.
