61" t.v.




And of course, the t.v. stand in the back of the car!


Got the from a semi-driver and lots of driving out of the parking lot!

 

Mr. Bean would be proud!!

 

I'm dumbfounded, that is amazing.

Any problems with cross-winds?

 

Very nice!!!

 

You really need to send your pics to MINIUSA. Talk about a great marketing pitch.

MINI..."and you thought it was just fun to drive"

 

The Half size version.

 

A good gust of wind might flip you over!

 

Umm yeah if I drove that all would be well as long as it was a dead straight line cause at the first turn it would be avery expnsive "uh-oh" Props for making it all the way home

 

that's so awesome, i had to blog about it!

 

Looks good, just drive careful.

My truck has not hauled too much, never a single load of dirt or gravel but it has hauled many electronics items. I kept my truck when I got the MINI because it is hard to replace a truck with a car.

 

No, you just start tacking into the wind. You don't watch America's Cup races and not pick up a few pointers!

 

Luckily, no cross winds but it was a little nerve racking at first. Happy to say, no problems getting it home! It was pretty fun watching the guys at Circuit City wheel the t.v. out front and then the "you gotta be kiddin me looks" that we got! It was all worth it! LOL

 

My club met for ice cream earlier tonite and that's exactly what the concensus was!! I think those pics are a GREAT marketing tool!
And I would LOVE to find all of those "why did you get racks on a mini" people and show my pics to them now!

 

ha ha awsome! you should drive around like that with the box removed and TV on!

 

That's a fun idea!

 

Have you ever tried hiking on a MINI though :impatient :impatient

 

What's the weight limit on the roof rack? Seems like that would have been close to it.

 

Hiking???

 

165 pounds for the genuine OEM rack as pictured.

 

Today's t.v.'s are so much lighter than they used to be, such as this one. I don't believe that we were anywhere near the weight limit on this rack.

 

How did you lift it up there safely?

 

In sailing, hiking is the action of moving the crew's body weight as far to windward (upwind) as possible, in order to decrease the extent the boat heels (leans away from the wind).

It would also help in cornering with the added weight on top..

Nice job BTW!!

 

The 2 circuit city guys and my bf! I of course, stood there & supervised!

 

Not impressed. The lumber Jetta has you beat!!!

 

Yeah, but the lumber Jetta couldn't move.
