Your car is small but spacious!

[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]Just want to share an awesome mini experience 2 weeks ago. A couple of friends and I decided to go on a 3 day golfing trip and it was my turn to drive. This is the first time my cooper will be use in a “vacation trip” scenario so I wasn’t too confident everything will fit. So, I decided to bring a couple of bungee cords and a rope just in case I won’t be able to close the boot. Anyways, everything ended up fitting and I was still able to close the boot. The stuff we fitted are 3 golf bags, 5 to 6 bags, a small cooler and a small box containing miscellaneous items. (see attached pic) [/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]My two friends who don’t own a Mini made a couple of good remarks about my cooper. One was impress on how stable my car was on corners and the second friend said my car was small but spacious! To make a long story short…..I love my sporty and spacious Cooper![/FONT][/SIZE][/FONT]

Thanks! My mini came through the experience without any damage. Most of the damage/scratches that my Mini get is from loading and unloading my 2 kids when I bring them to the babysitter.

I can't believe you fit all of that into a MINI! Thats good news for me. Of course, I don't plan on taking a bunch of friends on a golf trip, but you never know!

My MINI should be here in about 2 weeks!
