COO-ification?

Wow.... This item hit the British press some time ago, but I just found out about it now:



I imagine this has been a highly effective promo vehicle for Edinburgh, Scotland-based MINI dealer Peter Vardy.

Here's a short YouTube video showing how "Hamish" came into being:

The hairodynamics must be awful, tho.

Well it is nice to see that "blackout" has been replaced with "furout". The horns are particularly a nice touch. Wonder what the car smells like, especially when it rains.

Reminds me of the Top Gear Fox Hunt.
