Has anyone actually seen someone jump into a Mini Convertible? or is that a myth?

 

Can't say I've seen it, but I would definitely attempt it. Wait... that might depend on from what height... and also I'm not sure I would try that on my own unless WRAPPED in pillows...

Ah yet another reason why I waffle about having ordered a feature-packed hard-top instead of a bare-bones convertible.

 

Both of our sons (21 and 17 years old) have had a look on their faces like they were thinking about trying this approach. Had to *** that idea right in the bud.... Maybe in someone else's rag top. I'm way to old and fat to even think about that entry approach!

 

When the MINI convertible first came out there was a short "documentary" on miniusa.com about the commercial and of the guy jumping in one. He used a trampoline to get airborne. He had several misses too...ouch!

Here's the commercial itself

if i had a convertible i'd jump in it if i left it topless in the parking lot. a cool way to get in as long as you go right into your seat and not sprawl all over the dash and both seats.

 

I'm happy to jump in someone's Mini for them - all for the sake of science of course. I definitely can't jump through the sunroof on mine - I can't seem to get high enough.

 

I'd like to see the out takes.

 

I tried that...landed on the trunk, and ripped my tux...

Sounds like a job for the "MYTHBUSTERS"!!
