Kpiglet Started This Thread a while ago and I decided It needed reviving.

Who has a dashboard ornamant on thier MINI? What is it? (picture please!) And Why?

I have a happy Budda, to remind me to play nice with other road users.

Nothing like a .357 Magnum to more effectively use hand signals to indicate a lane change. . .

Also great for telling tailgaters to back off!

You know L.Mini, we've always seemed to get along just fine, but really, that's just cruel.. you should be ashamed of your self... poor kitty...

CRIKEY!!! Here in Australia we've all got Crocodilles and Kangaroos as interior decoration :evil: who needs the optional car alarm when you've got a Croc! Seriously we're not all like Steve Irwin the Crocodille Hunter, and we don't all have pet Kangaroos, and by the way Survivour Outback wasn't the outback at all it wasn't too far from Cairns in North Queensland. A bit like calling it Survivor Wild Wild West and having it on the outskirts of Vegas. My dash icon is a character from dare I say it Pokemon, it's a fat little fellow called Snorlax. My little brothers thought well the Mini has a nice J-Lo styled big butt and seeing you can't buy a J-Lo doll for the dash I was given a Snorlax???? Go figure, I guess that's the logic of a 7 year old though........

Given the popularity of the above mention Steve Irwin in the good old USA I reckon he should do the MCS TV ads for you guys, I'm not particualarly fond of him as he makes us from Oz look like....well idiots really, and we're not...we'll sometimes, but mostly we're not. But he'd be funny

" Crikey Terry watch out for this little bugger, have a look at him, he's all puffed up and fat around the back there, he's just waiting to strike. Oh he's a beauty, just have a go at that big hole in his bonnet, just made for suckin' in air as he scoots along, he's a bloody ripper this one. Let's just see if we can get inside and get him goin' so you can really see what he can do, alrighty if we just poke that little pedal down there he'll be off like a prawn on the sun, they get really fired up these little Mini's and just try and catch one once they get into the corners matey! they'll stick like sh**t to a blanket I tell ya!" then the Mini spins around, runs over Steve Irwin and roars off into the distance.

A friend of mine has this guy!

I'm going to add him to my dash. Yeah, it's copying, but it's too perfect.

I am not into MINI ME but here is a perfect bobble head for the dash. I found it in a catalog and its 9.95. I am not part of the company but thought someone might have to have one.
