I jump my mini all the time, and I ban my copilots from using the doors. Anybody else whose as crazy as I am?

 

Nope, but I may start requiring copilots to enter through the boot.

 

LOL...my shepherd got stuck in the boot last week. Whole time I thought she was just relaxing with her butt in the back, only to find out she was really in there.

 

1. open door
2. sit on seat
3. bring feet and legs into floor pan area
4. close door
yeah it's boring, but it works for me.

 

Why? The doors have SUPPER sturdy hinges! The first time I looked at a MINI the MA told me to open the door and put all my weight on it. I got up on it and it was really rock solid. I am not a lightweight guy either!

What happens if the top happens to be up? You don't get in?

90% of the time... this isn't an issue!

 

I had a friend who thought that was a great idea, until he had to have the right door repaired and painted. Suzy was not as athletic as he thought!

 

I don't have a convertible, but I find it so much easier to just jump through the open sunroof. . .

 

 

I use a Transporter that I picked up at a Federation Property Disposal Auction........

 

There's only one official way to enter a MINI Convertible...

MINI Jump Game

 

Law of the Top: Top Down...ALWAYS. And getting into Mini Cabrios without use of doors is sick!! (if u couldn't tell, I'm under 21)

 

Don't you car about your paint jobs? One bad move, and my 230 lbs could put a world of hurt on this little car!

 

One bad move, and I could put a world of hurt on my groin.

 

Here's the MINI ad of jumping into the cabrio: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpaDe7ByNxw
And how they filmed it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WljJPl4f2UM

Both of the videos used to be on the MINI International website in higher quality, but I can't find them any more. They also had a humorous game demonstrating various methods to jump in, but that seems to be gone as well.

 

I walk up to her grinning like a crazy woman , tell her she's beautiful (she grins back REALLY, I'm sure that's a grin on her face too). Open the door, tell her I LOVE her, put the key in and off we go...two grinning fools.
