I rest my case...

 

When we moved the buyers made us leave 3 days early, so we had to call ABF to tell them to come pick up the trailer. Unfortunatly they came early and we couldn't get everything in there in time. What was left had to go in the Minis




I don't even know what was in these. My neighbor got some kitchen things and alcohol that wouldn't fit, and I gave my friend a 19inch CRT monitor that was in my front seat which I felt was too dangerous to drive with it there, since it was stacked on I don't know what.

 

I'm sure there are a few gigging musicians out there. I've managed to fit two electric guitars in their hardcases, one acoustic guitar also in it's case, a fairly large class A amplifier, a full size pedalboard, micstand, forty odd feet of cable and a duffle bag. Thankfully, I don't do this for a living... but loading up the Mini is a lot more fun than the old '76 Plymouth Voyager back in the day!

Cheers!

 

4 17x7.5 wheels with tires. I also managed to fit one unmounted new in box Rota RB into the trunk alone with the 4 wheels and tires. Everyone who was at the MINI dyno run in VA saw my car that day.

 

Seperate incidences:

1) a hot tub cover...the FedEx freight pick-up guy was like "there is NO way"...we made it work.
2) 4 17-inch wheels/tires, plus myself and my suitcase...with plenty of room left over, I could have had a passenger too.
3) For working a tennis tournament, 6 5-gallon water coolers, a large 20-gallon ice chest, a 10x10 foot pop-up, a treatment table, and my medical kit
4) 5 of my co-workers

 

I fit this table saw (still in the box) http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1...word=table+saw Though I could not quite close the boot (it was 4 inches too long). It was just about exactly the right width. Another 1 or 2" and it would not have fit in.

I did not think to take a camera, but one of the loading guys at Sears told some of the other people there and they came out to marvel while I was tying the boot down. A couple got their cell phones to take pictures.

 

Three full grown Saint Bernards today. I would have brought the 4th one along but she was staying at the vet overnight.

 

Beer. Lots of it. By the barrel.

I won a Weber Genesis "Silver" gas BBQ at last year's Xmas party at work. Took it out of the box and stuffed it into the MINI. I was amazed I got it all in, had to use the front seat too.

That's cheating.... Most of it's outside the car...

I fit a person in the boot without putting the seats down...

 

Last week, my parents tried to bring a large trunk they were giving me over to my house. However, it wouldn't fit in either of their Volvo sedans (an 850 and S80). So I had to come in my much-smaller MINI and pick it up, it fit perfectly with the passenger seat moved up a few inches.

 

Ah yes, the optional mother-in-law seat. (zing!)

 

Infinite stupidity (packaged in 2 kids).

 

A 35 gallon hot water heater today, with all my tools from work (tool box, over shoes, heavy rubber gloves, hard hat, bib overalls, and full size spare.

 

Brought my brother home from Ohio State U this past week...he had 'plenty' of room! Fit his 19" monitor, PC tower, computer speakers, dirty clothes, clean clothes, extra food, and a few christmas gifts! Then he got to ride the 70 mile trip in the back with all his gear while my wife and I were nice and comfy up front!

This pic doesn't do it justice, camera phone @ night FTL

Sure it goes without saying, but there was nothing but a tiny gap that i could see 1 headlight through my readview mirror!

 

A set of 3 dununs, a steel sawhorse, 2 jembes, equipment bag, backpack, and my then 14 year old daughter.

I tried to get my snowblower to the shop for servicing. The only one of our three vehicles that would take it and have all doors close, was the MINI.
