The main reason I think people use the union jack is because it's the thing to do on a mini roof I'm sure not much thought is put into nowdays and I wonder how long until someone complains about it and the council asks you not to "fly the flag" anymore.

I think they look ok if it's just on the roof, although the breadknife prefers the chess board. But none of this door card and dashboard stuff. Or this new new mini rubbish where they have 'em on the wing mirrors as well. Although how funny would it be if all car manufacturers offered as an option, the country of origins flag for the roof? Mind you, a Japanese flag would be cool. On a Skyline GTR not a Micra.

Ouch!!!!!!!

I bought Vern not knowing what he had up top as he was covered in dirt and leaves when we first met, but I absolutely adore his Union Jack. I am very very proud of being British and I love the fact that my mini shows this, he sort of represents me if that makes sense with his roof and other bits and bobs. Anyone with a problem I'll be meeting with a large stick later.

I do think though that if I had bought him as an original Chelsea I would never have put a Union Jack on his roof and if he was just black and shiny I would only opt for an airbrushed one again.



And another in the cold, I can't help it ....





Actually am I really the only person on here that has a UJ on the roof or have all the above comments scared owner's of the flagged minis off? Don't be shy, some of us do appreciate the Union Jack/ Flags whatever so feel free to answer the question without being ridiculed

As a rule - like a lot of other people, i aint a fan of them on roofs, but i LOVE verns, i hate it when im reading a thread where you have posted, because i seem to always stop and stare at the pic of verns roof in your sig

Well said......Just to be an anorak.....did you know that the measurement between the centre of the front wheel and the back wheel on a Bini is the same as a Land Rover Discovery!!!

I'm not particually a fan of the bini but they are British designed and British made, Just German owned. They do tend to look
a bit daft with the UJ on, esspecially the ones on the mirrors dont like them.
