great pics of shoving stuff in your MINI... That should really be the title of this thread
Funny that you say this... we were actually out that day looking for a truck and kept saying how we needed to find one so that we could go and buy this t.v. Well, the truck never happened, so we improvised.. with the MINI!

That is awesome. One thing though, how did you decide to tie the box down vertically? My first instict would of been to lay it on it's side & then strap it down. Anyway no big deal, look at what my MINI can do.

The guys at the t.v. store suggested NOT laying the box down flat, rather keeping it upright. (That was my first question for them because I was super nervous about driving with it upright).
Your pic is awesome too!

Good photos. I'm telling you, this thread should be... How much stuff can you fit in your MINI. We just recently moved... I should have taken some pictures. j/k we rented uhaul truck for that.

I think that'd be a fun thread of pictures... I'd say this thread is sort of turning into that, wouldn't you?

I think that "How much can u fit in your mini" thread already exists somewhere in nam. It wouldn't hurt to start a new one!
