Go Ahead, Laugh: Cornhole boards into back of MINI?

Hi, I am seriously thinking about getting a MCS soon.

I really don't know how many people know about or play cornhole outside of Ohio, but its fun to me. Anyway:

I know with the seats folded down I would have plenty of space to haul around guitars, amp, and effects board, but I also haul my cornhole boards to family and friend functions. Will a couple 2 foot x 4 foot x 4 inch tall cornhole boards fit? If they will, I think I'm sold.

Thanks,
millis

That was quick. (thats what she said)

Cool, thanks.

I'll explain the game of cornhole, but I believe I cannot explain cornholing on a public forum




But I guess this is getting off topic, which would be bad for my second post, correct?

that looks vaguely frustrating. long as you enjoy it right?
and you know you were gonna have to explain it so i doubt anyone will mind if thats the offtopic you happen to run into
You want a MINI GP!

Its basically a portable horseshoes. Except I'm not very good at horseshoes. You just use bean bags (they're really corn bags (filled with corn)) and wooden boards instead of metal horseshoes, stakes, and sand boxes. 3 points in the hole, 1 point on the board, you cancel your opponent's points with yours. Play to 21.

The rules are here:

I think if you took the beer out of a competitor's left hand it would mess their whole game up.

Jhud, you're not to far from me in Mason. I was in Loveland last Sunday checking out a 318ti. It was slightly boring.
