    For the love of god, put it out of it's misery!!!

    And that's not the whole story. It originally came with a blade underneath, and a bagger in the back, and was called the "John Deere" edition. Only Deere thought the MINI made their tractors look ugly, and subsequently obtained a restraining order on BMW within an hour of submission.

    BMW threw in a net, some Brazilish looking crap, and now here we are.

    Rumor has it Frank Stephenson is still in the ICU.

    C'mon, I think the key phrase to note is.....

    "The new star of the MINI Team will be officially presented on 1 April 2014."

    Man Dave I'd forgot about that monstrosity. I drove that very one at the Countryguy roll out. When asked how I liked it I told them I was very glad I did not see anyone that I knew while driving it. I got this look from Mister MA > :confused5:

    Does BMW have something in their Mission Statement about making things uglier the longer it stays in their lineup? That paint job is hideous! And all the silly little @$#%$ they put in the cabin is ridiculous. I don’t know if I will watch the match now, they might let this thing take the pitch.

    If you read the text (not just look at the pictures), it should become clear.

    Maybe it's a joke, but it'll see production. Just you wait and see....

    Brazil has a fine flag me thinks. Just not when its colors are spread all over a PacMan. :frown2:

    Coming soon on the new season of "Pimp My Ride". MTV felt bad for mini and sent the car to West Coast Customs. They were going to "pimp" an f56, but decided it was too ugly even for them, the people who grafted a BMW front end onto an escort.

    I like the Paceman, but not in this particular motif.

    And, I don't like Brazil.... At all.

    But knowing MINI they think it's another great idea like the F'ed 56. Just ask Motoring file they say it ride fantastic since the got a free year long loaner. :devil::lol:
