MINI Emblem vs Bentley Emblem
 
Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong forum I have an 07 so I thought I would post here. I just noticed that the Bently emblem on thier cars is similar to the MINI emblem and vice versa. Just seems neat or is there a story behind the two.

Bentley looks like wings and MINI similar but without the detail.

It's because both car companies are owned by Steak 'n Shake!

Gasp!



By the way, why aren't there any Steak 'n Shakes in the Mid-Atlantic?

Austin-Healey, Morgan, and even Chrysler, too...lots of automaker-logos feature wings. Must be some primal connection to flight/speed.:nod:

Because of the sand which is there.

You have them in Dallas??? Grrr. We had them in Houston back in the 80's, but the oil boom went bust so they melted away. They are a "must do" when we go back to our old hometown St. Louis. We have salivated for them for nearly 40 years!

MLPearson79 12-20-2007 02:45 PM

We had one in Madison for maybe 2 years and it died...there was one further south in Janesville too (or maybe it was Beloit, I don't remember) and I think it's gone now too.

I don't think there are any in California :(

You sound just like a member of my family. :) We're from St. Louis and moved to Fort Worth. Back in the early '80s my Dad actually drove down to Houston just to get a Steakburger. A few years ago a Steak 'n Shake opened a couple of miles from my parent's house. They waited in line for like 2 hours the day Steak 'n Shake opened. :eek2: We are some crazy people....

Me...I just miss White Castle...:grin:
