I thought we were above this.....
I was on http://www.miniusa.com today and just saw a link for MINI Motion under the Gear Up section of the website. Hmmm.... I thought...never seen this one. So I clicked and endured yet another flash popup window (one thing that really peeves me about MINIUSA) and then clicked collection. I like the urban travel bag.
Then I clicked BUZZ. I would put the link here, but again....it's Flash.

What?!? What is that coming out of the MINI - A FRIGGIN TENT?!?! OMG

Then it got worse - click "more" twice.....
"The tent deploys out of the TRUNK door".....since when did my MINI get a TRUNK DOOR?!?!

MINIUSA is soooo getting an earful from me.

Sorry....rant over.

This option seems kinda worthless without the boot's 12V outlet they removed between the 02 and 03 production cars. How am I to make coffee in the AM!

Are you sure it was a tent and not a chute for ultra rapid deceleration?

>>It actually reminded me of the scene in Aliens when the alien mom loses the "egg sack" I kept waiting for the MINI to run away from it.
