Hi all, thought we'd introduce ourselves. We are the US representatives for a large rooftop tent company, James Baroud, and we are building a Mini Countryman for our SEMA booth this year. Meet Barnaby - he is a 2015 Countryman S All4. We are excited to work with several sponsors on this build, including SuperSprint, NM Engineering, Stoptech, H&R and Baja Designs.

After SEMA, Barnaby will be on the road throughout the year for other shows, social media campaigns, and road trips and we'll post about it here if there's interest! We'll post a build thread in the Countryman forum too.

Thanks!
The James Baroud Team

 

Look forward to seeing your build. One question, why not use a new F series car?

 

We are focusing on displaying the tents and didn't see the value in paying for a brand new vehicle. If the build was the ultimate goal it would definitely make sense!

 

Welcome to the forum. I am confident that you will have a large following if you post a thread on the forum. We are going to need some more angles and the details of the modifications you did.

NAM Vendors: How about you giving them a run for their money next year and build a SEMA car with all of the vendors that we have come to know an love?

 

Welcome to the forum

 

Welcome, We'll be at the show so we'll make sure to check it out.

 

Thats cool, will have to check it out, i think i saw some promo pics a couple years back with factory matching roof stripes on it? Was that yours?

 

Yes, that was ours. Posted start to build thread - check it out.

 

Are you guys part of the tech transfer program by chance? If so, do you know if there are any Mini CAD files available?

 

We are, yes. But we are not allowed to share the files sorry.

 

Just finished our latest round of updates - check our build thread in the R60 forum for details!

 

Not interested in sharing... Interested in purchasing our own subscription IF there are Mini files available. So are there...?

 

Nice and subscribed!
