I'll 2nd that, hopefully we don't see purple flames (a $200 dealer installed option on the PT/GT Cruiser) on a Mini either.

Its not the way I'd want my MINI to look, but I've seen worse things done to them. I actually think it looks better than any PT cruiser I've seen.

Some would....one of the first comments I got about my MINI was from a girl at the BK drive-up window.

Her: "Wow, that's cute, what is it?"

Me: "It's a MINI."

Her: "Wow, a mini PT Cruiser? I didn't even know they made those!"

Back to the "woody" above....yuck!

The wooden car I like are the ones that are made of real wood. Like the 1930's - 1940's era Ford Woody wagons.

Wood from the vinyl tree reminds me of the Griswold Family Truckster era Ford LTD station wagons.

There was one of those at Octcooperfest. Really neat little car.

If MINI did something tasteful such as that on the classic... would be interesting (especially with the ease of "nail-on" mods). Reefs and bows for the holiday anyone? I'd eye that "Witch-hit-a-pole" holloween attachment.
