Excellent Mini! Congratulations!

 

TY
I'm really excited!!! I can't wait to join up w/ the local mini club and go for rides..

 

Very nice! I bet your pup is going to miss the beautiful roads of Hawaii I think I would have shipped myself there

 

Very fun! What's the roof graphic? Oct 27? You're getting close .

 

The roof graphic is a Welsh flag

 

Very cool. Are you west coast oriented? I know of four pick-ups in the midwest area. It would be interesting to tally up how many trucklettes, utes, pups, pick-ups (call them what you wish) that reside stateside.

 

I'm in Los Angeles. I know a guy that has 2. He's in Northern California. I know that there were a few for sale in my area.

 

I like the look of your pickup. I had seen it on Flickr long before I bought my mini pickup last year.

 

I think there are at least a few pick-ups among the MOALA membership. I recall seeing photos, posts for sale for two in California last year. Don't know if they sold or where they landed... a recently restored dark blue one and a basically unrestored tan original with new canvas canopy top.

MiniPappu- congrats and let's see more photos once you get the little rascal.

 

SOOOOOO awesome!!!
(I wish MINI would come out with a new version of the mini pickup.)

 

LOL.. if the MINI came out with a truck it would look like this

 

Mercy-

That would be a teenager's dream... In reality, though, a current BINI pickup would look a lot like one of the Red Bull promotional MINIs, minus the giant can of course.

Wonder how long it'll be before Red Bull sells those and they become "pick-up" conversions? Based up the Red Bull models, a new pick-up would be pretty worthless, functionally, compared to the classic. Pretty amazing how the classic pick-up, which is a foot shorter than a new BINI, still has impressive cargo area in the bed. A new one would likely be two feet longer than the classic, and still have less cargo area.

 

Kinda like how the classic has more room in the backseat than the MINI.

 

if MINI does make a pick up it would most likely be based on the clubman platform.....

 

Agreed... which would make a hypothetical new MINI pick-up about 2 feet longer than the classic, and I'd guess that it would still have less cargo space than the classic. Simple comparisons, either way, are unfair as the world has changed "slightly" during the 50-year span between the initial design of each.

Awaiting new photos of the Minipup! Congrats, again.

 

I want to see a Clubman Woody (real wood please)!
