That doesn't even LOOK like a MINI.

Are the rumors true - that is the new 'Purple Haze'?

This car has been around for a while. I've seen it 2 or 3 times. The color is bad but the girls is hot.

I like the glowing neon underneath. When I see it I know there is an idiot behind the wheel and to give the car a wide berth. Same with shopping cart wings and spinners. Was there a law passed that morons have to make themselves highly visible? If so, I'm all for it!

Saying that wouldn't make it any less true. At least I've got better taste in cars than women. I make her park around the block when she comes over for her little "love fixes" so I'm not associated with that hideous vehicle. Oh, and I also promised J-lo I'll marry her next.

I notice that the photo identifes the vendor as "The Leader in Auto-Neon and Performance Lighting"

Peformance Lighting?... does it improve torque, horsepower, or both!

Vinyl wrap? Sort of a full body car condom? Cool, the model is practicing safe posing...

I'm not sure if I need to seek professional help, but I kindof like the paintjob. Lose the "streetglow" logos, but the base purple color is pretty cool. Better than the Alpine MINI.


I'll stick with Chilli Red though.

It is beyond cruel. It is ee-vil to treat a Mini that way. Let's get a mob together and rescue that suffering car. Remember, Spoonleg backs me on this: the babe is mine so hands off her! That means you too pefloresjr.

She will be mine if I show up wrapped completely in vile purple plastic!

While I think that MINI is an abomination, the car would lend itself to a cool purple (no graphics, but keep the hottie). Porsche has a very subtle purple that I think the MINI would do well with.

Just my $.02.

Okay I agree that is way too over the top but as a show car it's probably typical. Personally, I can't wait for the day (...maybe when our MINIs get a little older) when we see some nice respray jobs happening, perhaps in some classic Mini color schemes. I'm a fan of Island Blue, myself. Problem is we'll probably see some good AND some bad.

I can't believe some of you people actually think that girl is hot. I want to see you guys start a fist fight over her! HAHAHA! If I were a guy, or a lesbian, I wouldn't look twice at that girl (other than to say, put some clothes on you hussy!) Sorry Inio, didn't mean to hate on your girl. She's probably very... intelligent.

As for the car... I suppose there are more tasteful ways to go about showcasing a vehicle (some advice the woman in the photo would do best to take as well). But to some it must look good, and more power to 'em for that! I would choose this MINI over the boob job MINI any day of the week!

Anyway, as others have said before me, I think that there is a very fine line to walk when painting your car purple. It can either be a disaster or quite classy. There are very few cars out there that can pull off purple! Personally, I don't like the new choice for "Purple Rain" or whatever the new 05 MINI color is going to be. It's a little too... Barney.
