How does his massive penis fit inside that tiny car??

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It doesn't, flaps in the wind.

Dude I think you go to a Nazi gym

Staring down big American cars in full contact races is literally the Mini’s pedigree.

POV: https://youtu.be/QAo1ylm304g

It has no fear here. It knows what to do.

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 4 points 22 hours ago

BTCC races back in the day were fucking epic. The minis took the corners, the American muscle cars took the straights and the racing was glorious!

Here is a three-way battle between a Mini, a Ford Galaxie and a Jag for good measure!

[–] 0ops@piefed.zip 4 points 23 hours ago

How could anyone not root for the mini?

[–] klangcola@reddthat.com 4 points 1 day ago

Ugh, that ending crossing the line, so close!

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 1 points 22 hours ago

goddamn that's some good racing

I love tiny cars for that stuff

[–] AllHailTheSheep@sh.itjust.works 1 points 22 hours ago

going through the laguna seca corkscrew on a mini has to feel insane

[–] aim_at_me@lemmy.nz 56 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I know which car I'd rather have.

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A friend of mine had a mini like that. It was comically tiny, and kind of scary. I think you would die in every accident you'd have in that car.

I would definitely take the mini

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

At least it wouldn't lock you in if you have an emergency.

This is the self preservation society

(Ironic for a car with no crumple zones)

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 2 points 1 day ago

There are only three cars to choose from; the Mini, a GLS, and something I don't even recognise (Vauxhall?).

Mini is cool tho.

Cyber trucks are illegal in the UK?

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

It's a meme. Look up "average fan vs. average enjoyer" meme.

[–] MeekerThanBeaker@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Enhance. Yup. Typical owner.

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

"FUCK 'EM" I can read. Any guesses on the bottom line?

[–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

EM stands for Elon Musk, obviously

The perfect accessory for when your whole family thinks you're an asshole and you have no friends.

[–] Perspectivist@feddit.uk -4 points 1 day ago

I'd say "fuck'em" is the correct attitude if someone hates you because of the car you drive.

[–] DBT@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

It’s impressive that they’re actually in parking spots. At my gym they typically park in no parking zones because obviously they’re special.

[–] card797@champserver.net 10 points 1 day ago

Gotta be careful parking next to dumpsters like that.

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 25 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Is that a dutch number plate?

I'm confused, because a) I see two palms in the picture and b) cybertrucks are practically illegal in the EU and c) taking your car across an ocean would be a lot of effort.

Where is this?

edit: Problem solved I think. From the original reddit post:

This appears to be in a US state with no front license plate requirement. In those states, you can put just about anything decorative on the front. This includes fake Euro plates.

You’re right. This license plate belonged to a Citroen BX and was exported in 2018 so never belonged to this vehicle. You don’t have to turn repeater plates in on export in NL. Only the regular plates.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Palms are what's on the inward side of your hands. You're thinking of palm trees. 😁

My first language also defines the word for this tree to be just "palm". 🙂

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Thanks but that's just disambiguation. the word can mean both: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/palm

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 0 points 1 day ago

Alright then.

I guess some disambiguation would be neat since it's in reference to an image online. 👍

British car: “By George, I’m surrounded!”

[–] deHaga@feddit.uk 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Another British icon, designed by an immigrant.

It's almost like immigration brings new ideas and is good for the economy.

[–] DeadPixel@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago

Cool Mini!!

@di.ksjust.matter ??

[–] Krompus@lemmy.world 1 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (1 children)

Why no plates on the Cybercraps? I'm guessing they're just sitting in a lot, unused?

lol the green one has graffiti

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 3 points 23 hours ago

If its America they dont need front plates in most states.

[–] BlueEther@no.lastname.nz 9 points 1 day ago

I miss my mini

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

To cucks and a British dude.

[–] Perspectivist@feddit.uk -4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Definitely looks much less worse wrapped. That matte olive green is kinda cool.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I've seen a black wrapped one that's kind of acceptable. Still a hulking monstrosity.
