My coworker handed me a silver and black "Whiptastic Handling" sticker today. Apparently it's the latest MINI ad, included in a few magazines. I love it!

However I think we'll find it showing up on other cars who wish they had our trademark handling

Keep an eye out for it. (An example is here)

I also found this site which has collected descriptions of all the print ads with included fun stuff:

Unfortunately no scans of each.

I wish MINI just sent us our own copies of these great ads so I didn't have to have all my friends looking through their magazines for them!

Same thing happened to me a couple of weeks back.
Boss hands me the ad he took out of a mag as he knows of my MINI obsession.
Cheeky ad and I like the back view of the Cooper as it's the same as my CR/W.

(trivia question - what tires are on the car in the ad - they are not the Conti's or the Dunlop 3000's, and they don't look like any of the North American equipped tires?)
Don't think I'll be adding the sticker to the boot of my car though, but the concept's a laugh.

Yeah I saw the sticker on the back of an Escort ZX2 the other day. Made me laugh.... especially since my last car was an Escort ZX2.
