What is that wole thing about. I've seen two or three of theie commercials on the Military and History Channels and have never gone to the website. What's the deal. Are they for real, or is it a Mini Club or something? I'm missing something here. Please explain to me.

Saw the commercial. Was amazed at how elaborate it is.

But, what is it? Are they selling something? Is it Mini advertising the cars? I'm lost?

Yes it is mini advertising their cars... and they went all out for it.. I couldn't beleive how elaborately they made things.... everyones seems not to sure if this is real or not, but it is fake, and just an advertisement for Mini Cooper, and to make sure you get an authentic one.

Then that's a pretty cool ad campaign. Great out of the box ideas.

Shouldn't that link go to a dealership wanting to sell you a mini then. What does the 19.99 for the video buy you?

it does if you get right down into it.. when to go to the buy a mini site it tells you how much you should expect to pay, and what features it has.

I am not sure the 19.99 video is real. It probably is but it doesnt make sense sine it's running time is only 9 minutes.

It's pretty easy to differentiate between the two. Real ones were made by Austin, Morris, British Leyland and Rover. Fake ones are made by BMW. The first is real, the second is fake. Though I accept them the same way you accept a red-headed step-child.
