ha! would never have figured that out. just thought it was some really stupid people that really liked the mini cooper for some odd reason. the advertising market has really begun to think outside the box.

Off topic but can we have a new JW rule please, whenever anyone refers to the BMW mini or mini cooper could they please insert "BMW" or "new" in front of it, its not a real mini Don't get me wrong Its a nice car in its own right, and i would have nothing against owning one even, as a small fun hatch, but its not a FUCKING MINI!!!! you only need to park a real one next to the new Mini. Sounds stupid i know but in real life so many people are pissing me off don't make it online too

Well since they raped rover of the brand and left them high and dry does not mean they and others should disrespect the original car that gave the world so much. It is totally different situation to the takeovers of other companies.

Who says they did?
the new car doesn't take anything away from the first car? except for maybe adding fans to Mini clubs all over the world?
