It really is quite a strange advertising campaign!
I saw these cars when I recently visited Herb Chambers MINI; I guess other dealerships have the same schemes set up …
Zig, the original hard-top MINI, Zag, the Convertible MINI, and Zug, the Clubman MINI:
I can understand Zig and Zag, but why Zug? I feel sorry for owners of “Zug” – it conjures “the car that couldn’t” in my head (and no, I’m not saying the Clubman can’t, that’s just the image it creates for me!)
We’re vacationing in Florida for the week (near the Disney properties) … today we were passed by (and then passed) a MINI with huge wheels – certainly 19″ but maybe 20″; they were so much bigger than GPMINI’s 18″ wheels, with basically just a skin of rubber around them!
I guess it’s easier to do down here, where there won’t be winter-created potholes the size of Manhattan on your daily drives … the MINI had other mods too, including what looked like gauge pods (or speakers?) on the A pillars … maybe someone knows this MINI?
