Yeah Baby (or why would you do this?)

I spotted this at Starbucks this morning ????





It looked like it was painted rather than a wrap

I am all for having a Union Jack on my car (I am British), but painting your Jag to look like it belongs to Austin Powers ???????

I have often observed an inverse relationship between money and good taste.

So, what your saying is that only MINI owners can do crazy things with our cars?

Better to be on the 'vert than a hardtop where even more pride can be displayed.

Oh, the commotion is all about the color. I thought it was about using a Jag to go to Starbucks!

Oh Behave!

As Mr. Union Jack... I HATE it. Waste of a beautiful car.

Now, if you wanted to sprinkle 40 or 50 little union jacks on it like pixie dust, that would be cool.

I think the owner was successful with getting his messages across.

1. I'm English. - Check
2. I'm Rich. - Check
3. I'm want attention. - Check

4. I'm inside ordering a half-caff, half-skim, half-soy, double latte, no foam, sprinkle of cinnimon, not too hot in a double cup. - Check

If that's his order then he's in trouble--he's in a 15 minute parking spot!

(By the way, what's "half-calf"? )

What kind of BS is that? Referencing Spinal Tap? WTF?
Now we know why the car is painted that way - it needed to be turned up to eleven.

Hmmm... I have no idea why someone would do something silly and attention-grabbing to their car.
