Quiznos MINI

I saw this MINI while I was in Ocean City, MD on vacation this week. Interesting look...

Please excuse the poor pics they were taken by my Treo 600 camera phone.

I drove my MINI to the local Quiznos and the owner was absolutely enthralled with it. He wanted to make a Quiznos MINI to represent his store. I should take those pictures in.... he might have a heartattack from excitement ...and I, ideally, would get freeeee Quiznos. mmmmmm...

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but that's just wrong.

^ I don't like it, but it could have been worse. When I saw the thread title, I started to picture a MINI with horrible graphics of a sub on it

The rats/hampsters/marmots/sprongmonkeys were some of the funniest commercials of all time. Just my .02.

Yuck. Could they have made any less effort to actually make this look good? Those same graphics on a PW would look decent, but on a silver car... terrible.

A couple down the street from my parents my a MCS and a MCC both pretty well done up to advertise their insurance agency. They have a WRC look to the graphics-sorry no pics. By using the car in this manner they are able to register them as commercial vehicles (less taxes) and depreciate them as a business asset every year.

That car isn't nearly as bad as the Red Bull Mini. They cut off the roof behind the front seat and mounted a 6-foot tall Red Bull can in the back seat.The rest of the car is painted with Red Bull Graphics. It's hideous and a crime against Huminity.

It needs a license plate that says TOASTY.
