So tonight while hanging out with my friend I spotted a fake MINI!

He's a big Jeep fan, all about off-roading and such. While he was looking through one of the threads he showed me these pics:






I am astonished at this. Also the fact that he's from Jersey too! People these days...

 

Haha not even the stripes, but the rims too!

 

here must be another

 

This guy doesn't seem to have enough imagination to do something more original...

 

You must be kidding.

Zip

 

Why would I kid? The guy ran out of ideas for his cars, so he jumps to the future in his Delorean to steal styling cues from Mini to take back to the 60's..

 

Yes, yes, yes. . . Sir Alec Issigonis himself invented stripes on the bonnets of cars. They were a part of his original drawings of the MINI done on the back of a napkin in a pub. . . All cars before or after 1957 with bonnet stripes are copycats. . .

 

yeah thats why twin PARRALLEL stripes that run the LENGTH of the car are called VIPER stripes and the distinctive narrowing srtipes found only on the hood are called BONNET stripes
