So how many MINIs (and Minis) would it take to fill the Dragon from one end to the other?

Are we getting close?

There are 5280 feet in a mile & the Dragon is 11.1 miles long so that's 58,608 feet in the Dragon. The 1st generation Mini is almost 12', the 2nd gen is 12'-2" (ish). I would say we need between 4817-4884 Minis to fill up the Dragon. So get registering people!!

Actually to be safe driver's we should keep one car length between cars, so that cuts us down to needing ONLY 2,408.5 - 2442 Minis to fill up the Dragon "Safely" - :grin" hee hee - Hey, I'm tryin' - work with me here!

Ok Pamalalala, I didn't know we were moving so at 30MPH proper following distance is 3 car lengths, so if moving we only need 1204-1221 Minis to fill up the Dragon

Didn't know? Oh dear. Do we need to have a little chat?
