Got my Counterfeit Mini Coopers DVD today.

Just finished watching the DVD from the CCC.

DVD runs about 10 minutes in length. It's pretty funny stuff, especially the part where they show the humiliation counterfeit MINI buyers suffer at the hands of friends and neighbors. They also interview the guy who bought the two motorcycles duct-taped together. All in all it's well done, but considering it costs roughly the same as an entire movie, ($19) it really only appeals to your die-hard MINI enthusiast. Um, like the people that post on NAM.

My redneck neighbor has been eyeing my MCS for the almost 3 years I’ve had it so when he told me the other day he was picking one up I thought one of the 7 pick-ups in his front yard would be gone as a trade-in and I’d see a new MINI in it’s place.

I should have known better…

Counterfeit Mini Coopers?

Not sure if this has been posted yet but I thought I better warn new buyers.

. Check out the public announcement video at Counter Counterfeit Commission (http://www.counterfeitmini.org/#)

Even found a Mini auction site (http://www.mini4auction.com/index.cfm?id=165) - be careful of fakes!

Counterfeit Mini?!?

Has anyone seen this? My Dad found this website and I just saw a commercial on TV yesterday to purchase the DVD. Are they serious?
