sorry about the vaugesih ness its all i got forum forum for the moment

john cooper grages closing is a blow for the mini classic and new alike soo much so that it will take a long time for the signifcance of it all to set in it trully marks the end of the cooper car compamy and to me the spirtual home of the mini cooper along with it, the love and the heratige behind that name i fear will be lost in the trendy uber dealerships of bmw and mini to some of us the cooper name means a lot it what makes me smile every time i look at the back of my car

With a brand name like Cooper why has'nt it been sold on?

cos mike cooper was maikng a shed load out of licencing it to bmw he took a cut (a big one) out of every cooper and cooper S sold as bmw agrred to this as when the did they thought the mini one - no licnece needed to cooper was going to be the biggest seller but now with the runnng of the acutal garage slowing down and the works kit now a factory fit option and the challange race series also sold on there wasnt much left for the actual works garage to do

Preferably with at least token punctuation.
