Here is a photo of how my Mini Cooper S "Works":
Loaded with 17 gallons of paint, 2 gallons of paint thinner, box of masking tape, masking paper and other assorted materials and tools of the painting trade.

 

Here's mine, but it's fun work stuff kinda sorta....

 

Who says you can't fit a plane in the back of a MINI?

 

 

Love the pictures.
My little sweetie is a worker too. Neighbors are amazed to see the things I can haul, when it's time to plant and start working outside. For me the little hatch is easier to load than my pick up is. I keep a tarp rolled up in the boot and there's never even a tell-tale speck.

 

Mine doesn't work *much*, but I've moved in mine. Twice. The heavy lifting was done by a truck, but the majority of stuff was boxed and stuck in the boot....

C ya,

Lol. Yesterday I was cleaning out my garage and loaded many things I don't need to take to my shop and I was thinking, who said you can't fit things on a mini.

 

My Mini doesn't work he's an alcoholic.

 

At least he's not driving....

 

Better get a seat belt on those

 

No pix, but my wife and I did a two week road trip from the SF Bay Area up to Oregon and back in our 06 JCW convertible. That's two big people, one dog bed that took up 2/3's of the back seat, one dog, 3 duffles, on dog crate, several Native American flutes, coats, shoes, wine, picknic basket, ice chest, two beach chairs, and a whole bunch of other stuff. And with the top down, nothing stuck up higher than about 2 inches above the bottom of the windows.

 

Wow, beautiful trip.

 

Thanks. It really was great. We went up 101 north of SF, out to the coast to Mendocino on 128, up north on 1 and back through that great 30 mile section to Leggett. Then north to Acrata for a quick visit with my mother, then east on 299 and north on 96. 'Spent a few nights in Ashland and went to a couple plays. Then off to a quick visit to Diamond Lake and Crater Lake and then over to 97 and north to Sun River where we spent a number or days at my wife's cousin's place on the river. We did a few day drives in the Cascades while we were there. Then it was noth to Sisters and over the pass three times and then over to the coast where we spend a few days at a beach cabin right on the beach. Then a nice drive down the coast all the way to home in the Silicon Valley. To her credit, my wife allowed the top down for 99% of the trip. Even over the colder passes. And I'd rigged up a sort of cover/bag/hood thing for the doggy bed, so when it got cooler, all we had to do is snug up the drawstring on the bag the bed was in and our doggie was warm and happy. A great trip.

 

What a wonderful trip. I visited Coos Bay, not long ago and never wanted to leave.
