That story was just made up so the OP could talk about the mini they had, and use the word "bonnet" to sound cool.  I know several people who own minis.  Not one says bonnet.     :thatsright:  Of course, none of them are in England either.

The new Mini is a German vehicle.  To call any part of that car by a British term is ridiculous. 

Using 'bonnet' is the cooking-and-baking forum equivalent to using some bullshit french alphabet soup word to describe something we use every day over here, but with a huge dose of pompous ass.

Pretentiousness goes hand in hand with being a DUmmie.  I drive a Mini because I like how it looks, I like its gas efficiency, it is good for my anglophilic heart (even if it is technically a BMW), and I get a kick out of the name.  My Facebook friends can figure out why I like the name of the car  :rofl:   I've never heard of anybody use the term "mini-speak" before.

So, do you call the hood a 'bonnet'?  :popcorn:

The glamrock primitive with his 'bonnet' makes me think of the PT Cruiser owners that show up at car shows.  They think they're being cool, but everybody is pointing and laughing at them behind their back.

Yes.  My boyfriend drives one, for all of the above reasons, with the exception of the name part.  :-)  I even know someone who is in one of the Mini clubs around here, she has never used any "mini-speak."

Cottage Grove is about 10 miles away from me and it has a very small hospital, maybe 20 beds. Complicated cases, surgeries, severe illness are sent to Eugene. The hospital is almost 40 miles away. But even IF stepmom had to wait for surgery they would give her pain meds so the fact that she's laying there in pain is bullshit. Even the emergency room that sent her to the larger hospital would've given her pain meds before transporting. And the DUmmies buy it...not one of them is capable of logical thought.

They should have stuck with the old Traveler.  It was a stretched version of the original Mini.

The original Mini doesn't have that curved roof.  The new Clubman looks like a retarded Toyota FJ Cruiser.

Is the intake snorkel standard equipment on those, or an owner add-on?

I'm not entirely sure with Toyota - I am a Nissan fan - but I'd assume some models it is supplied with the vehicle, others it's an "accessory" you can add at the showroom or after.
