AutoTraderUKChromeMINI

And it's only $66,800 U.S.

OK, I'm a little worried something may be wrong with me. I actually think that would be kind of cool to have.

According to the ad, "she'll love it". If she loves it, I don't want anything to do with her

LOL. With more than 6 billion people on the planet, you can find some amusingly hairbrained ideas come to life. Y'know, like start a MINI tuning company.

Yeah, I bet the guys at the international space station can see the reflection on a Sunny day.

FWIW, it is cool. Kinda like the all-chrome version of WWII planes.

The thing that got me, is that in the right surroundings it would reflect everything (like a mirror), so it would look like 4 wheels and a grille coming at you

I took this image while at MINI United @ Silverstone last year. I can't remember but I think it was designed by Sting.

I kind of like it too, but on a dry summer day it could start a fire or something.

It looks like an airplane - needs lots of rows of rivets.

I actually like the classic Mini chromed out. The one in the Auto Trader ad just looks a little cheap IMO.

I agree with Silhouette88, that's actually kind of cool.
