Hmmmm, with a board name like ArmyDog - I'd have thought you'd have like it

And typing about camo and strangeness. I remember when "they" would want us to wear camo paint on our faces while flying our helicopters.

Enjoy the ROK and the big city, I was down in Camp Humphreys. Only excitement was watching the rice dry.

I agree with Andy.....I wouldn't put it on mine, but I kinda like it. Maybe someday I can afford another MINI to camo up.

Geezzz.. maybe it's suppose to be $14.99 for shipping.

That's got to be a typo.

White camo would be nice on a white top of course.

No typo, that's an old trick to avoid paying a high auction fee. They charge a percentage of the selling price, not including shipping.

Didn't MINI have an ad campaign and camo was one of the roof graphics?

Is that because they are camo and thus hard to find?

One of the best T-shirts I've seen was a camo design with the words, "Now you can't see me" on it.

Maybe this roof graphic would make it harder for the Highway Patrol to see me?

Not necessarily...

There are a lot of ebay sellers who do this, sell an item for next to nothing and charge astronomical shipping prices. ebay only charges a percentage of the selling price, so ebay takes their cut out of $.99 instead of $144.99
Of course, ebay occasionally cracks down on sellers who pull this.
Most buyers are hip to this practice, but sometimes they don't read the fine print. Always read the fine print.

Item location is hong kong and worldwide shipping. No clue if that makes the 150 shipping cost reasonable or not though. I would still say that seems kind of bunk as its just vinyl right? Can't weigh that much.

I've always been a sucker for an enhanced tuned style.
