On the website one of the counterfeits was 2 motorcycles duct-taped together.

I can't possibly take this seriously.

i guess the whole thing is just a joke of people taking cars/boats/planes/motorcycles and making them look like minis...

could be funny but not worth $20

they probably figure if they can get you to waste money on a DVD then it should be nothing to get you to waste money on a mini

It is an advertising campaign from MINI, and when you order the DVD, you do get one, but it is only 10 minutes long.

CBS 60 mintues reported it.....so probably not true...
