I don't usually get involved with the p*ssing contests here, but can everyone just quit responding to this guy, Robster, A.K.A. robber of intelligent thought?

Really, here is his post ".... i agree, no nasty comments!!" but yet stirs the pot.

Just looking at his previous questions, he is either completely unknowledgable about cars or a troll.

Minicop, hope everything goes well, Semper Fortis.

Seriously Robster with a Mini that looks that nice and for $35k would you think for one second there may be an engine problem or he has not serviced it ?????

My feelings don't get hurt that easy...... Here is my answer to your question, where does it say you are cheap and your Mini is hanging on by a thread ? Now my later posts suggest that in your words you wanted a cheaper Mini to fix up and drive so my question was why were you asking questions about a $35k firm posted Mini ? If anything you took a shot at me and the way my Mini's run.

Sorry about the thread hijack Henry good luck with the sale.

mal, you know i thank you for all your help, and honestly i respect you and everyone else here, you just irked me when i asked the owner about the condition of his car and you jumped on me ,calling me cheap and that my mini is running and hanging in one thread so to speak, god knows my question was so innocent,  im the kind who hits back when being hit, sorry if i hurt your feelings, its just a spur of the moment emotion.   again i apologize.

 

ok back to the japanese mini for sale...

my car might be runnung better than yours "sally" lol

 

 

 

I am not "pretending" to know everything if your reference is to me but i will tell you i know the car very well for over 6 or 7 years.

I seriously doubt you could ever get any car or one Mini for that matter to run better than any of the several i own or work on Rouster. Anyone that puts WD 40 on a throughout beearing and handle bar grips on a shifter ball to take away the slop has not a clue what it takes to work on a car and should not be left near it. By the way have you read the Haynes manual yet ? I am sure the answer is no you seem like a typical 20 something kid who wants everything handed to him and right now if not sooner, i f you are older than that you need to grow up.

I was sympathetic to you and your Mini problems and posted replies on your threads to help you at first but as others have stated you don't take advice and want the easy way out all the time instead of doing a bit of research, now i realise there is no teaching you as you will never learn just stumble along and probably never get the Mini finished. As my Father quoted " you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink it".

Good Luck with you back street Mini repairs you are going to need it and then some, i pity the poor soul that buys your car when you are finished butchering it up.

As someone else said "buy a Honda" go to another board and annoy them.

well just check the odometer it reads 77371 kilometersthis.Car has no hidden secret it is what I said.Anyone that wants it and buys it I will guarantee the car if he or she thinks is a bad deal or somethings wrong with it,I'll be more than happy to fix it or return their money.Like I said before I don't want to sell it.but if someone buys it is gone.I love driving the car I get more attention in the mini. Then my 930 Porsche.Plus I love going to the club runs and meet up with friends.There's nothing better than having quality time with people the drive the same car that you do I didn't think this was going to turn into a big discussion but yet again thats were I am.in this form .LOL

p.s I got this car about 3 years ago the car was brought in by a very respectable member of the club and there was nothing wrong with the vehicle its just me every time I get a car.I like to make it look factory new.it's never perfect but I can assure you this car is in excellent shape.God bless you all have a great weekend.Oh the trip in North Carolina will be in April contact minisports USA talk to Mike guarantee you'll have a great time

its just a common question from a common buyer salsal ..bleh!!!     Some sellers don't reveal their car's secrets until they're asked. ..

No it is not Rooster, well maybe it would be if you were a buyer. The car is in A1 condition and why do you care you are not anywhere close to a REAL buyer and have already stated your budget was only for a cheap fixer upper Mini which you can't seem to get or keep running right.

Hello guys ther  is in excellent shape runs great engine has all his tune ups checkups it has like 60,000 miles. I really don't want to sell its a nice car to ride around and go to the mini runs and hang out with a bunch of guys that are excellent to hang out with .But if I get the what I asking for it is gone I priced it according to all the ones I seen online for high price and it doesn't even come close to my car's condition. I bought this car as a hobby but I usually buy Porsche or Ferrari to sell
