When owning a gay car wasn't quite gay enough.

It's a very camp fashion scooter, which in the same way as the recent-ish resurgence of the Vespa will attract iPhone sporting pointy-shoed manbag cocks who will be more than happy not to use any more safety equipment then they see in the magazines and adverts for their latest bit of "now and happening."

Cue the plastic surgeons and scrubbing brushes in A&E to get the grit out of their wounds.

These electric scooters are OK on their own merits. If more people commuted on these instead of in huge diesel cars London (for example) would be a nicer place.

But I do wonder how far the MINI brand will stretch before it finally snaps....

Me too.

Having seen a Mini lose it's offside rear wheel down a fairly steep hill in about 1988, I feel cheated by this thread.

(The wheel overtook the Mini)

No Mr. Garlick. No. No. No.

If you have pointy shoes or a manbag then burn them quietly in the countryside one night and deny ever having owned them. Then burn the mini scooter and buy a man's iconic scooter like a Cub 90 with crunch-tronic gears. Now that's a proper scooter.
