A strange site on my way home from the Airport

I took Shari to the Orlando Airport this morning and on my way back to Daytona I ran across a strange object driving along on 417.

It was a very HUGE can of RED-BULL sitting on the top of a Mini Cooper with two gorgeous girls in it.

I gave them a wave and a toot on the horn as I passed them. It sure was a strange looking Mini.

We have them in Charleston, SC as well. We call them the Red Bull Girls. Haha.

They stop randomly around town and all us college kids load up on the RB for free.

We have them in Halifax too. Redbull has sponsored several of the mountain bike races and festivals I've organized. They are a company that really gets it.

I seen the Red Bull girls but not what they drove.

I have seen the Red Bull girls many times at the Daytona Speedway as well as other tracks but never in their car.

It was a surprise to me seeing the Mini with the big can on top of it driving down the Greenway.

There are a couple members here with MINIs that were once redbull MINIs, and now have been converted back to normal purposes.

Check out member "Gasser"'s gallery.

I've seen a red bull mini a couple of times in CT, NY, and FL.

I think spying the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile is a rarer event.

I love Gasser's MINI conversion. Has anyone else here seen the Hershey Kiss-mobile? It's pretty cool and the little paper flags that stick out of the chocolates turn as it motors.

I was at the dealer one day waiting on some service to be completed when they brought in one of the RB MINIs on a rollback.
