MotoringFile 2006 Year in Review

Sections: MF Feature | Site News Dec 31st, 2006 12 Comments

Okay so we’ve been busy in 2006. Between Db, myself and all the frequent MF contributors posting reviews, news etc, we have had well over 600 stories about the MINI, related accessories and the culture that revolves around the cars. Impressive and maybe a bit obsessive, we’ve done all we can to live up to our reputation of providing nothing but the best news and reviews in the MINI world. And with the addition of Db to the staff – we’ll be getting bigger and better in 2007.

So with 2006 coming to a close today (and since we’re taking tomorrow off!) we thought what better time to take a look back at the biggest, most popular and our personal favorite stories of the year. (in Chronological order)

As usual a big thanks to all of our sponsors who have allowed us to make all of this possible. If you ever feel the need to support the site, the first place you should look are the ads on this site.

Enjoy!
