How much crap is this? http://www.petitiononline.com/mco0803/petition.html

So BMW is going to SUE their own supporters just for using the MINI name? What a stupid move.

Please show our MINI friends that we support their right to have an enthusiast forum without being harassed.

I'll remind you that all those do is harvest personal information and bear no actual power over decision making.

hence i just used my spam address. still wanted to show my support, useful or not. i think it's just bs to have an ad campaign for the car and then punish people when they actually want to show their enthusiasm.

Don't get me wrong... the cause is noble... but tis best left to lawyers to battle over... a petition from online anonymous figures is pointless.

I respectively disagree.
I assembled a petition with petitionsonline.com about 3 years ago that got over 17,000 signitures. The petition was recognized and steps were taken in light of it.

I agree that ultimitley the lawyers will decide, but it is possible to sway BMW's stance so that maybe they will take an alternitive action.

I am curious what Ron's opinion on this matter is? If you notice, our board does not have ford or focus in its name...

Now you know the reason it doesn't have Ford or Focus in the name.

I'm not sure of BMW's exact reasoning, but I could understand why they wouldn't want someone else using minicooperonline.com
If they would have just made it minionline.com they probably would have been safe.
