<p>Sweet! Just wish the 9 minute DVD wasn’t $20. Ouch!</p>
<p>I just saw the commercial on TV here in LA around 5-6PM. FUNNY STUFF. </p>
<p>I ordered the DVD for a fellow MF follower who lives in Germany but it, the site, suggested it would take between 6 & 8 weeks to get.</p>
<p>Guess those funny-looking jalopies from down in TJ are gonna be fording the Tijuana River soon. La Migra will have full garages right quick! ;-)</p>

<p>I saw the commercial on cable and I thought it was great. Alas, my wife just does not get it.</p>
<p>The commercials are hilarious, I think I might buy the DVD for the heck of it.</p>
<p>could somebody please email me and tell me if this is a joke or if this is actually a problem. i got a splitting headache looking at that counterfeit mini website and there is no way there can be that many idiots in this world that would buy 2 motorcycles duct taped together or a 70’s impala painted up supposedly being a 2003 mini cooper but has a tape player and 3 in the tree transmission. PLEASE SOMEBODY TELL ME IF THIS IS A JOKE!</p>
<p>This is a joke.</p>
<p>i loved this commercial, and i am a huge fan of the Minis. Just wish that the video wasn’t $19.99 !!!</p>

<p>this website sells the counterfeit minis in the commercial and it looks real???</p>
<p>the site has all of these crappy looking “mini coopers” and it says that the cars were actually bought.</p>

<p>Alex – that site was covered a few weeks ago on MotoringFile. It is part of this campaign by MINI.</p>
<p>Where did this joke start? We are trying to figure out how someone got the money to pay for all these commercials all for a joke. We don’t get it. Thanks Nadia and Sebastian</p>
<p>I think everyone knows its a joke… but I dont want to pay $19 to watch a commercial!</p>
<p>I don’t know if the commercial is effective or not for other people. </p>
<p>For me, it’s a given the cars must be fun to drive, and easy to park, but I would like to have technical info, (not just go-fast, but on longevity/reliability) which would convince me it’s worthwhile to buy the car, for the crowded city, where I live, but also to go on road trips, into remote areas and dirt roads, where I like to go on vacation.</p>
<p>I don’t know if the commercial is effective or not, but for me, who would buy the mini primarily because I live in the crowded city, and want an easy car to park, but also want to go on trips into remote areas, (not “off-roading” for a wild ride, I want to get into quiet areas to camp) this site lacks technial info, on reliability and design, which I want in detail.</p>
<p>This commercial made me toot soo loud .. and than i sharted myself.. but if i had 20 dollars i’d buy it for a friend then make a copy for myself and love it..</p>
<p>hmm, you know, if people really are that dumb, i may just paint my truck with the english flag and sell it for twice what its worth…it looks more like a mini than a freakin GTO.
but seriously, thats a great advertising campaign by mini, cus its funny and people are going to remember that commericial.</p>
<p>theres a counter counter counterfeit site…</p>

<p>I know the commercial is a joke. But it seems like something too odd to spend money for an actual commercial for. Is there some sort of actual product?</p>
<p>I have been the victim of a counterfeit mini cooper. I paid 12,000 dollars for my 2005 “mini cooper”. I took it to my mechanic to have it checked out after it spent 18 long days in a crate being shipped from antarctica. My mechanic told me it is actually a 70 dodge duster with a British Flag and racing stripes painted on it. I tried contacting the person i bought the car from but i was informed by someone that he or she had fled antarctica in fear of me finding out that the mini cooper was a fake.(im not serious)</p>
victim 100, i thought you were serious at first. this is nothing to laugh at.
i purchased a counterfeit mini off ebay. i’m still fighting with ebay over who is culpable. the seller has pretty much disappeared.
