[TheCracker]

I'd rather have a regular Mini.

 

[homeforsummer]

Uncool. You'd look a bit of a berk driving one of these around, and they don't have the charm of a Moke to make up for it.

I feel like we're really running out of cars to poll when stuff like this is being suggested...

 

[AudiMan2011]

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but I'd rather just have an actual Mini Moke.

Uncool.

 

[All Your Base]

Kit car. Uncool.

 

[Panoz]

Knock-offs are never cool.

 

[Dennisch]

What a sad looking contraption.

 

[FT-1]

The 94hp variant seems like fun thing to hoon offroad, but it's still just a kit car/knock-off.

 

[Legro]

so he made his own.

Clearly.

The thing the Moke had going for it was that it looks kind of cheerful from most angles. This, on the other hand, looks like something Top Gear could have made.

 

[Adamgp]

I wouldn't want to drive one on the road, (are these even street legal?) but these look like they can be serious fun on a trail.

Cool.

 

[Tornado]

If you went literally anywhere with one of these, even if you were screwing around in the woods...

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

It literally looks like it was built in a shed out of scrap metal, uncool. I rather have a Mini.

 

[MisterWaffles]

What even is that supposed to be? A mini wrangler?

I give it a cool just for its peculiarities.

 

[Joey D]

I'd totally drive one, but it isn't cool.

 

[TexRex]

Uncool, but the first one in the spoiler is just awful.

 

[Liquid]

It has the grace and looks of the diesel-electric contraption Top Gear made.

 

[Tyger]

Some interesting other cars in one of the spoiler pics.

Scamps and Mokes have their place, even if that is in The Village, riviera or some private country estate.

The Cooper-engined ones sound kinda fun (and a little scary) but other than that these are very niche, mostly pointless cars to me, so a Meh it is.

 

[Turbo]

I'd probably look a little odd driving one, but they look so much fun that I wouldn't care.

 

[AlvaroF]

Not a Mini Moke.

 

[7up747]

SU. Nothing cool about these.

 

[Jet Badger]

I feel like we're really running out of cars to poll when stuff like this is being suggested...

I wanted to nominate a Kamaz milk truck, but apparently was not allowed to. Which is a great shame, knowing that with the amount of different trim levels that has, it could keep going on here for a fair bit.

 

[UltimateYosh]

True art. Beautiful. A modern classic.

Sub Zero.

 

[Dagger311]

It looks like my cousin's old side-by-side.

Not a good thing.

 

[LivingWithGames]

If *THIS* is supposed to be true art and beautiful, might aswell drive box cars.

 

[CarBastard]

I can't see what differentiates this from a golf cart, and neither wold be able to a common person.The Mk. I looks particularly awful.

Seriously uncool.

 

[mustafur]

Like a well made version of Geoff

Seriously uncool

 

[CarBastard]

Like a well made version of Geoff

Seriously uncool

Except it has no TVR chassis, no RetroTastic® casette player, no AluminiuShelving® bodywork, no frontal inertia reduction energy bar, no deluxe garderning-chair imitation upholstery and, get this, it has NO moustache.

It's like you don't even know what you're talking about!

 

[6ranTur15m05]

I just can't get myself to like a car like this. Uncool.

 

[axletramp]

If you want to drive a Mini-based car that screams, "I BUILT THIS MYSELF, AREN'T I FAB!?" then a Mini Moke is a hundred times cooler.

Uncool.

 

[Cano]

Scam ​

Indeed.
