rmc523 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I think it's rediculous that they're allowed to do that. I've been thinking the same thing CarShark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you wake up every morning and think to yourself....... How can I be a dick today? ......... or does it just come that naturally to you? Your life must really be miserable..

156n3rd Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 My daughter drives a Mini over in Scotland. Unless the Chinese copy it bit for bit, they will only have a look-alike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinb120 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 It's hillarious how our desire to fill our lives with cheap shit we don't need is fueling China's economy exponentially... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bored of Pisteon Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 It's hillarious how our desire to fill our lives with cheap shit we don't need is fueling China's economy exponentially... Especially these consumers who think they are getting "a good bargain" at dollar stores across the country. Yeah... YOU'RE GETTING A BARGAIN ALLRIGHT... :banmolest: :banmolest: :banmolest: :banmolest: :bowdown: :bowdown: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what most of the Chinese cars are these days, cheap look alikes of the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
156n3rd Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 The local Mini delaer never has more than one new and maybe one used Mini in stock. Nice. Chinese also want to pick up the old Rover car brand, which was a colassal p.o.s. back in the day. Been in two of them. Throwaways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
