Ian in Boston, George in New York, David an Electric MINI guy, Joanne here in SoCal and many others. I also enjoy the camaraderie I find at AMVIV and other events.

I still follow MF but find the climate harsher than when it was Bridger.US. I myself have been guilty of some of that stupidity. There is no other MINI blog that has the info and following Gabe has. As far as WR goes, it’s a bit too midwestern in it’s humor for me, not a slam just not my taste.

Well keep up the good work, it’s nice to see well designed work whether is a website, painting or logo.

I’m excited now to actually go through and detail the car as though I were going to sell it. I just know that I’ll love the car all the more after some more TLC. I definitely agree with you on the community as well. I don’t participate in the comments at Motoringfile anymore, but I’ve started catching up on the woofcast and am remembering anew how much I enjoy that show. Next is to plug into some events like The Dragon or AMVIV.

As for the site, it was a lot of work – probably touched about 90 posts at least twice as well as customizing the theme – but it’s been totally worth it. I feel like I finally have a website that looks like I actually make websites for a living.

I liked your original design also, didn’t much care for the last.

I too thought of getting a “new” MINI but last October cancelled that! Also I’m really not onboard with the chunky new MINI look. Maybe as Gabe suggests over at MF there will be changes that will give back some of that aggressive stance, clutch and steering feel I like with my ’04 S.

All the things you say about the MINI are true, plus, for me, the community of owners is so kool. I recently changed out my bonnet and boot stripes, what a pain, so much so I documented it on my blog.

NIce job.. RB
