Red Bull MINI

Funny, timing, I'm driving to the office this morning, talking to Conrad about the Rock Run and what pulls out in front of me, a MINI Cooper, with the Red Bull Can on back.

Does anyone know how we could get it/them to run with us?

I see this Mini all the time around the Weed Street/Clybourn area. I think it probably belongs to a makerting company of some sort since I've also seen Jamenson Whiskey Mini around.

I sent an email off the Red Bull site, and hope for a call, sounds like Jughead may have the inside track. MINI drivers, know how to get things DONE!

I spotted the Red Bull MINI in the Lincoln Park area when I was driving the Target Smart Car a few months back. Didn't have my camera ready when it rolled by... My wife saw a Zipcar MINI (ride share).

That would be kinda cool to have the RB MINI roll with us for Starved Rock

Well after the tips from Tampa area MINI owner and an email to RED BULL, I have started "talks" with Red Bull to join us for the Rock Run.

Keep your value stems crossed.

I see the Red Bull Mini Coopers on I-57 most of the time going northbound, but yesterday afternoon it was going southbound.

I've seen them in Cologne and Frankfurt Germany. I think that is where Red Bull is from.

They must of done that to one of them or just did it. Since it was last week when I saw it southbound on I-57. I wander how many they have designed like that? I know 2 for sure since I seen them both on I-57 at the same time.

Well, I do know I saw a couple for sale on EBAY? No graphics, no can, and all silver now.

I also have heard of a guy in chicago that is trying to convert an old red bull mini into a el camino style mini...good luck on that !!!!
