That is soooo funny. I had completely forgotten about this. My wife used to work at the corporate office of Payless Cashways (RIP), and photos of this car were plastered in e-mails and many of their stores.

BTW... I agree that the this would make a great marketing concept for MINI. It's just up their alley.

LOL, I can't believe they even made it out of the HD parking lot. Man the stupidity of some people is mind boggling (insert Florida joke here).

Beware...
We'll be watching American's Funniest Videos one evening and see this site. Some on looker surely had to get a few pics or video of such a sight. I would've had a good friend taping the reactions to all the other drivers on the road while hulling this home. That would've been worth watching on the 61" monster tv.

being redneck and all, if you ever need to transport an AK-47 it'll fit perfectly across the boot of a Mini.

I totally need a truck though. Not going to sell the MINI, but I need a truck to tow my race which I'm building...

great pics of shoving stuff in your MINI... That should really be the title of this thread

Here's the MINI on a water refill:




Could have fit 11 (at least) 5-gallon bottles by my guesstimate: 3 in the boot itself, 6 on the backs of the backseats, one on driver's seat, one on footwell of passenger side (and maybe a couple of small ones behind the driver and passenger seats):



woo hooo
