    Mini has announced a new special edition created to mark 10 years of people moaning about the Mini on the internet.


    (ED - Complacently stole this post from Sniff Petrol New anniversary edition Mini « Sniff Petrol )

    Called the Oh God, Not This **** Again Edition, the new car commemorates a whole decade of awful bores droning on about how the new Mini ‘misses the point’ even though they seem to have long forgotten the point themselves.

    The Oh God, Not This **** Again Edition boasts several unique features including a sanctimonious exhaust note, repetitive sat-nav and upholstery that depicts Sir Alec Issigonis ‘turning in his grave’.

    The car will come with a specially created commemorative booklet which attempts to outline a brief history of the Mini but soon veers inexorably into a dull and ill-informed rant about how BMW ‘stole’ the name from Rover.

    As a finishing flourish, the bootlid badge has been modified to read, ‘Mini? Maxi more like’ in an annoying way.

    The Mini Oh God, Not This **** Again Edition will be too expensive and too big and you wouldn’t catch me driving one of those, not in a month of Sundays and why have cars got so big anyway it’s because of all those airbags which are completely pointless unless you’re a meddling EU bureaucrat and don’t get me started on etc etc etc

    I was going to order one, until I found out the $3,000 rear wiper-mounted TIMETOBITCHABOUTTHEF56 Digital Reminder Package won't be available due to safety concerns regarding pedestrians tripping over the power cord. :nonod:

    The funny thing about the opening line: "Mini has announced a new special edition created to mark 10 years of people moaning about the Mini on the internet."

    We like the 1st Gen years. 02-06

    Some of us even like the 2nd Gen years.

    The third Gen well ..... :rolleyes::nonod::eek:ut::prrr:

    I was thinking if a fella was to put one of those big towing eyes on the front of his special addition F56 it would look like a big ole nose ring. :cool:

    Well it does show black wheels so the first thought that comes to mind is someone stole your hubcaps and you were too cheap to replace them!:wink:
