Looking for the MINI continental kit
I know I saw it one time, but I cannot locate it again. Any help?

Ugh, I'd rather walk 20 miles in 100 degree temps rolling a flat tire than have that thing on my MINI.

I want a full sized spare. Unless the S's came with full sized spares

A single tire should fit in back, though no room for other stuff.
Take my approach to spare tires: Don't bother with them. Just don't get a flat. Take care that your Karma is good and you won't need a spare

You know, I do, but I just keep getting into trouble. I even stop and help people on the side of the road when I can.

I think a roof rack basket with the tire up there would looks even better-very Monte Carlo Rallye

Yakima and thule both make cargo bins/baskets that mount to roof rails that would hold a spare. I think you could get a spare wheel mount from an offroad aftermarket source that you could weld or bolt onto the rack that would hold the wheel-or you could get a cable and lock.
