Well I guess I'll be ok cause one of my longest owned Minis was RHD and a fun car it was!  Great going through the NJ Turnpike and tossing  quarters over the top of the car into the basket.  Much harder to toss through the half window - it was really too low. 
Yeah  I thought it was a joke also - how could this be reality - well, whatever, Jim hope things get better for you !

Following this logic then those well known Mokes from the factory brochures back in the 60s aren't genuine because they're LHD and just wrong. Give me a break  brake? You know the ones - on M Parts website - the Spruce Green ones with the girls on it.

Jim, what has happened to you?  You are not anonymous to me.  I appreciate you and the friendship we have and will continue to have.  I really thought that this was a joke.  This whole my way and no other way is just silly.  WHO TF cares...  I am pretty sure Alec Issigonis doesn't give a S, he is dead.  My father never gave a S, he had both.

Proves my point.
Peter: are you feeling included?

The real offense is seeing LH drive british cars!.. the only reason you have a LH Drive sold new Moke is it was dumbed down to cater to Americans that are clueless. If you were a true Mini fan you would fix the Moke to be on proper side.

Dude - my 65 Moke is LHD and came from the factory that way. What's wrong about that? 
I won't even mention my national heritage which is not English

I suggested after his first twit post that this could be that troll.. Could also be that other one that thankfully hasn't been around in a couple years now

 

"Everybody should own a MINI at some point, or you are incomplete as a human being" - James May

"WET COOPER", Partsguy1 (Terry Snell of Penticton BC ) - Could you send the money for the unpaid parts and court fees.
Ordered so by a Judge

Funny, as I thought the same thing, as other are beginning to think. It sounds like he is back.

I present

- facts
- evidence
- examples

Nobody can respond with an intelligent answer of how a LH drive Mini is one step away from putting a german flag on it
Those that like LH Drive Minis, do you have german flags on your car?  if it is LH Drive it certainly is not a proper English car and that cannot be refuted, only whined about as we have seen.

I'm beginning to suspect so.
As in coping with Robster, it is probably best to not engage with his "argument" In other words, don't feed a troll.

If you're so manly, why don't you show up at one of the Mini gatherings this summer and go around spouting off on LHD Minis? Let's see if you have anything more than some keyboard backbone. Even Twitter needs more guts.

Otherwise just take your laxatives. Though, on second thought, you probably have already taken too many, based on what's spewing out from you.

Is he back ?

I thought Robster was long gone...

Yes, there are technical reasons why RHD is 'better' than LHD, but having driven both extensively (and prefer RHD because that's what I grew up with) I can honestly say that when I get an Innocenti it will stay LHD as that is how the Italians made them.

Oh, now I see the light. It makes so much more sense when you put it in boldface type. But you should probably go all caps if you really want to drive the point home.

If someone thinks that someone leaves this site because they get all upset and frazzled to see how LH drive Minis are not right they do not deserve to have a Mini and should consider getting a Toyota Camry.  

A LH Drive Mini is so wrong, it is one step removed from having a german flag on a Mini.
