Check this irony laced eBay auction for a 1981 Volkswagen Rabbit “Kooper-ish”:
[ 1981 Volkswagen: Rabbit KOOPER-ish ] eBay
“You will be the smoothest cat in town. Dont be fooled by the counterfeits!!!! THE VW-ish Kooper!!! “what all the A-listers want and just can’t have” If you want to have all the luxury of a 5 star hotel and all the power of Locomotive. Then this is not for you!!
This vehicle is sure to embarrass the driver in such a fashion he/she will get laughed out of their neighborhood.
The “CAR” wasn’t maintained with loving care or meticulous conditioning. The interior vinyl has been cared for with regular beer spill treatment. (A technique not even discovered by the pros yet.)
This vehicle runs!!! Forward and backwards!!! I am not kidding. Only 166,714 miles thats low for a 1981. Rear door is taped shut, but doesn’t have to be, oh and so is the window on that door & the drivers window has issues, but the door opens and closes very well. There is a drivers side mirror, but not a passengers side mirror, those are styrofoam balls. I think they look great and add character. The vw-ish kooper will make a great first car!!! For who, i have no idea–maybe you? Bid with confidence, you will get a running vw rabbit that looks sorta like a mini cooper
Suprisingly enough it actually runs well.
Happy bidding
<p>That’s funny!</p>
<p>The colt 45 exhaust really does a good job finishing the whole piece. I love the guys high-fiving in the background of one of the pics.</p>
<p>So, is this more fun from the people at MINIUSA or is this a private citizen riding the Counterfeit MINI wave?</p>
<p>I like the bids….from $1.50 to $51.00…I think they’re being generous.</p>
<p>I wonder if they had been drinking beer at the final design presentation would we have had beer can exhaust instead? Guinness exhaust caps, hum couldn’t hurt!</p>
<p>I’ve got to say that the Mini-ish VW logo that they taped on the bonnet and boot really make the car. What a great sense of humor!</p>
<p>Are counterfeit Mini’s a real problem in the USA or is it just a fun thing to get attention? Because here in Australia, I have seen 1 counterfeit Mini!</p>
<p>Check out <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.counterfeitmini.org/">the Counter Counterfeit Commission</a> and <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.gbmini.net/mtblog/archive/2005/02/counterfeit_min.shtml">my weblog</a> including <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.gbmini.net/downloads/ccc.mov">a 7MB download of the TV advert</a> then decide for yourself ;)</p>
<p>With a description like that, it almost makes you buy the car!</p>
<p>I just added it to my watch list….you never know when you might need a back-up!</p>
<p>Still waiting for my CCC!</p>
<p>Hey, at least the windshield isn’t cracked and it doesn’t have runflats!!</p>
<p>I think that is the new ’06 Option package Mini. Not counterfeit at all.</p>
<p>This is the prototype 2006 Cooper winter beater special package. On the outside it looks like like your nearly undriveable POS, but underneath it’s all junk. But no runflats…</p>
<p>Man, I could’ve had all this for a whole lot less than I just paid for my 2005 MCSc. And it has the bonnet stripes in white, just like I wanted…
He didn’t mention if the interior was leather, though. Hmmmmm. Hard to tell from the pix.
I wonder what’s a closer decriptive match to the car: “satellite radio” or “satellite debris”.</p>
<p>Seriously folks, may fave part is the Q/A at the bottom of the ad:</p>
<p>Q: I cannot tell from the photographs but does this finely-made German automobile (an import automobile WoW!) come with an Eight-track player? </p>
<p>A: I wanted the track originally, but the overall weight of that unit made it so the car could barely move… </p>
<p>LOL</p>
<p>How much over msrp would Californians pay for THAT puppy?</p>

<p>RB said “I wonder if they had been drinking beer at the final design presentation would we have had beer can exhaust instead? Guinness exhaust caps, hum couldn’t hurt!”</p>
<p>RB, you do know that the MINI’s exhaust tip IS patterned after a beer can? Budweiser I believe it was.</p>
<p>saw a counterfit MINI in NYC last week.
silver mini van with white stripes on the hood made of masking tape. It had a cardboard cut out of the MINI logo on the grill. I pointed and laughed, as you would.</p>
<p>Im sure it has Leather Interior. Not sure what the skin is from…Mabe a cat or a few dead rats…..</p>
<p>OK all –I’m going to go out on a limb here but I’m willing to bet money that this is NOT a true Mini Cooper. </p>
<p>I done extensive analysis on this photo and researched the site the photo was originally posted on. It may be difficult for the novice and laymen to notice the obscure minute details but with my trained eye and keen 6th sense of investigation it does appear that this is a fake. A complete analysis should be done in time for the Mk II Mini. Kevin</p>
<p>If you buy a counterfeit Mini Copper you are stupid! They are really different! They do not look the same!</p>
<p>man that really is funny</p>
