MotoringFile was born out of a love for all things MINI. Technically started in January 2003 with our first post announcing that MINI had just won car of the year. But in reality it started way before. I grew up with a love for all things automotive. That fascination was particularly influenced by my dad’s BMW 2002tii and my love for all things British.
