Most liked posts in thread: MINIs to be made in China?

Figured if they made them in China they'd sell them at Wallworld.

 

It will end when Justa Jim gets his arse back down to MOTD! :devil:

 

Lifan will be thrilled (buy a fake MINI for 1/3 the cost)....
Of course they vehemently deny copying the MINI Cooper.... Hah...

^^^ The Chinese are doing cigars now???? When will it end.....

 

It's well and good that the "Justa" will stay being made in Oxford. Now, if we could just figure out where and how that "Jim" part was made....:devil:

 

Now that would be a sight to behold...

Probably only a matter of time before Walmart does start selling cars...

 

And they will be Chinese.....

 

Looks more like a FIAT 500L to me. Yep it's that fugly.

 

I don't care where they make them, s long as they keep making them.

I disagree...completely. :frown2: What a way to shaft the car that has made Bimmerworld so attractive for those of us who are not wealthy enough to jump into their M-cars.

Hell, why not have them made in YUGOslavia now, too? Grrrrrrr..:incazzato::mad2::mad5:

 

Smoke a cigar Jeff....the ones being assembled in China are not coming over here. And I use the word assembled very specifically...not manufactured.

 

I've cut my hands, nearly broke fingers and stripped nuts using Chinese sockets, wrenches, drills over the years. Sizes are incorrect and always breaking I refuse to use them anymore.
Also I would hate trying to find that tiny paper sticker underneath my MINI that says Made in China.so I could peel it off.

 

:cornut: So these cars are COMMIE minis or mini COMMIES?

Add China to death & taxes......inevitable certainty!

 

Great Jeff, now your're blaming all this on me. I hear that the "Justa" will still be made at Oxford only. :lol::lol:
