hey i've driven a bini
wasn't bad.... in a bmw sort-a-way

watched them 'stretch' the original concept
into soft roading awd's.... with displeasure!

And just when you thought it couldn't get any worse....

OMG! what rubbish. it'd suck too if you didnt have an iphone too!
just for a laugh, if you can't bear to watch it all, skip ahead to around
2:35 to 2:45..... 'cause we all need to take a lot of stuff into our cars'

FAIL bmw

Im not sure what to make of it. The mod one looks alright but its just another advertising gimmick.

Kind of makes you proud to be an AUSSIE

yet another prostitution.... just ridiculous

Maybe if BMC had thought of that in the 60's BMC would still be around today.

GTFOH. I didn't bother with more than 10 seconds of it...........

this is what happens when the marketers turn a car that we love into a a "brand" that they can milk money from any old/young sucker.

I love how all of the electric vehicle concepts always spruik on about zero emissions. How are they making the electricity to charge the bloody things up with ?

Nah, british industry was doomed from the beginning of the seventies. Social unrest due to class inequalities tore the UK apart, along with other factors. There was no way BMC/British Leyland could have survived. Even if they had, there's no way they would have understood how to make an iconic car like the Mini.

I don't mind the BINI (I quite like the smaller version which is apparently going into production) but it's just brand engineering. Slap a MINI badge on it, create a very clever ad campaign aimed at the iPad/Latte/Sauvignon crowd and watch the money come rolling in. I don't regard anything that BMW has done as related to the BMC mini in as much as a penguin is a bird.

No, it's gastly on wheels.....
