General Mini Adventures...

I'm really tempted to go on Vista Print, get some business cards printed up the the 500 logo on the back and the words 'Your Mini is so last year' on the other side!

Would that be an act of war on the Germans if I left them on a few BMW Maxi Mini's?

Dont bother, the Bini isnt worth it anyway
At least the 500 is made by the same firm that made the original, same with the Beetle... the Bini is just plain naff and a money making scam for BMW.

How is a car manufacturer building and then selling cars a scam?

The Mini is actually a very good & acomplished car actually.

Original Bini isn't that good. Always cost a fortune to recon. I've heard the new one is better.

because it isnt a Mini in any sense, size, looks, and its not even made by Austin etc... so they are lying and misdescribing the car... easy really they are too tight to even make a decent engine for it, instead using Chrysler junk and now Peugeot designed units

Close but not quite. The VW beetle (uncanny resemblance to an upside-down skip) could win that one!

My red, 1.3, 16" alloy, chromed beauty arrives next week. Pity it will have to rub shoulders with 4 Bini's which have been traded in ....... (includes 3 Coopers)!!! Best place to find a Bini these days is a Fiat dealership.

 

[Nuova500]

at least the Beetle is made by VW, doesnt handle or ride well and has acres of painted metal inside, like the original. The 500 has many clues styling wise from the real 500, but the Mini just isnt a Mini, its what the Germans think a Mini should be, and that boys and girls is why its wrong... and yep Ive driven them and hated them.
As for the Clubman... Ive got a real one and its nothing like the hideous beast BMW are kicking out... the Mini Clubman real has a square front for a start, what BMW have made is a traveller, but whod buy a car now named after some gypsies ehLOL.

Because calling something the size of a Golf a 'MINI' is stretching the credibility of the sale of goods act, lol!
