chairsforcheap      WTF ENGLAND
|
|
chairsforcheap Yes, the engine is made in Germany as well as the car. This idea, on the other hand, is painfully and transparently British. I've seen my share of CBBC and Superted growing up, and I know how they think.

Jellyneck MINI manufacturing is in Oxford.

All I can find about the move to Germany is filled with the words "might" and "long term".

splatterbabble    For people that need their social interactions force fed to them.
|
Jellyneck      Oh god, I wanted to test drive a manual and they gave me one of these. It was chiding me about acceleration by the first stop light.
I can't imagine what kind of person would pay $5k for the embarrassment package.

Camonk      I have never wanted a talking car.
I have never wanted to know what a car is thinking. Surely, I am not alone in this
|
erratic      Just wait till the driver asks for a cup of tea
|
Hooper_X Driver? Are you kidding? The fucking cupholders are demanding you have a nice hot cup of Darjeeling on hand.
|
unknown rebel Wow.

grimcity      A Kitt emulator would have been cool for about 5 minutes, but that shit would make me yank my hair out strand by strand.

MacGyver Style Bomb      OH GOD MAKE THE VOICES STOP!

VoilaIntruder      Help Ticket 088251: Please help, Coach has stopped talking to Engine, Climate not coming around much anymore since all the fighting started. Engine now idles at slow sob. Just wanted to grab chips at the corner shop. Assistance needed.

Scrotum H. Vainglorious      The first car I want to kill.

Jeriko-1      Would be worth it if there was a GlaDOS mod.

Ageusiatic      When playing video games, I usually turn the sound off partway through because I'm tired of hearing the same things. In one short trip, that thing shouted "Let's Mini!" a good four or five times. I would veer it towards a fucking cliff.
|
APE_GOD      So British.
|
Robin Kestrel      I was hoping this was going to be the Mad-Maxified Camden NJ package.
|
memedumpster      I was so down for this until the car actually started talking. I wonder where the decision to not have the car talk to the driver, but to itself, came from?
I would still want this, but only if the computer voices were replaced by the characters from Titan Maximum.

athodyd     "Like a greased lightning we will motor forward!"
I would assume an ostensibly British car would have at least some idea how to speak English.
|
sosage      Mini, remember the pregnant spider that hung out outside your window one summer? Eventually the egg sack hatched and...
|
lustygoat      I can't wait for Top Gear to get a hold of this.
|
Simillion      Yeah, nobody's getting laid in this thing.

SecretJunk And just when you least expect it, all the voices join in a deep, slow chorus and start singing "daaissyy, daaaiiiisssssyyyyyy...."
