The giveaway is how the stripes don't angle with the hood crease. Really sloppy. At least they picked a good color.

That's pretty good. I've been noticing cars & trucks like that ever since I got my MINI. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I think it's a home conversion. Maybe he is saving up for the white roof paint. And yeah those stripes are angled all wrong. Kind of scary how he almost matched Chili Red.

Does this mean there is now a year long waiting list for a mid 80s Sentra?
And when's the convertible coming along?

Yup, he did the stripes all wrong..... They will never learn!

They are suppose to go inside to outside, not outside to inside! Geez! Non-MINI people....

Hey, cut the guy some slack !!! He did a nice detailing job on the tires and seems to keep the thing as clean as we all do.

Maybe if he keeps acting like a MINI owner, no one will notice the fact that, well, the bonnet is not really that rounded, and things on the car tend to have more squarish shapes, and ....

Sorry, I mis-typed an 's' at the end in the above post. www.counterfeitmini.org and www.counterfeitmini.com are the same site. For a minute there I thought there might be a counterfeit counterfeit site.
