Counterfeit MINIs at my dealership!!

Haha, my dealer is too funny! They took an old Saturn and put bonnet stripes, a MINI grille and a checkered roof on it and have it out at the dealership as part of the Counterfeit MINI ad campaign.

When I was visiting a dealership, there was a 97 silver honda civic with the mini stripes on it, the ones from the factory. It was hilarious since it didn't even come close to covering the hood. I guess it was an employee car. Too bad I didn't have a camera then.

Just out at lunch running an errand through some countryside (yeah right) saw a black Hyundai with stripes on the hood and the stripes went onto the roof. This was less than an hour ago. I said to my friend with me "Look, a counerfeit MINI!"
