Most unique key chain

Hi there,

What the coolest, most unique key chain for your key fob. As customizable as MINIs are, what's the funkiest key chain you've seen out there.

Please share.

Cheers,
Dertef

When I picked up my HzB/Blk MCC on Saturday, my MA gave me a silver Bulldog on my keyfob. She says they are discontinued now, but were very popular.

Maybe not unique, but I really like my self-aligning bearing: Linky

I don't use a keychain or any kind of keyfob... a keychain in my pocket or the rattling & swinging from the steering column annoys me to no end.

It's not unique, but it matches my adorable car.

Not original or funky, but mates my two favorite hobbies. Cars and firearms

I used to collect keychains when I was younger. That has fallen by the wayside & now I can't stand them.
I disconnect my MINI key when driving & put my other keys in the armrest. The only thing on my keys I don't need is an old Wii strap.

Sorry about the crappy picture...my BB must be dirty.

puma claw

Here's my key chain. May not be the most unique & but I think it's funky-fresh & it makes me oh-so-happy!
It's taken from a Puma bag that I saw @ the Puma store. The bag itself was outrageously priced but I loved the Puma claw that was attached. I asked the salesperson if they sold it separately, as I was getting my Mini in a few weeks & thought this would be ideal, but, alas & alack, it only came with the bag. Then, miracle or miracles, she told me to just take it. They could either send back the bag or mark it reduced, but she insisted I take it & who was I to say no.
So now it dangles whilst I drive & hangs from my pocket whilst in repose & still gives me a lil' smile every time I pick it up.
Enjoy the day-
Robt

Ok, back in the day I used to use this BTTF keychain that I'm pretty sure came with the trilogy collector's box set.

I like these, too, except mine says it in Russian. I'm trying to get one from Italy and Germany now.

I've also had the MINI bulldog, MINI Emblem on steel cable, a miniature orange traffic cone, a small diecast MINI with working headlights, an orange Croc, TGV, German Railway (Deutsche Bahn) and several others I can't remember now. Life's short, change keychains.

Well, it was never really finished, so I guess I can't call it a "keychain" at this point.
I machined this out of 1/8" stainless steel, shortly before my '05 MCS was killed, and I never got around to drilling a hole in it and attaching it to my key.

Now I'll have to come up with something more suitable to my JCW.

I actually made this out of a Jonas Brothers key chain my sister gave me as a joke. It is an awful picture, I didnt bother with proper lighting.


Yup, uber nerd here. I actually scanned the image off my own copy of the first volume of the Manga...

Well here's my current key fob for the MINI.


I also have a Delta Air Lines MINI Cooper key fob that is a really cool collectible.


Then I have a really heavy JCW key fob that has room for engraving your name on the flip side.

HEY! You can't post that pic without the accompanying calculus equations.

Great keyring.
