We've discussed the largest dogs that have been squeezed into a MINI, so now what is the largest item you have had in/on your MINI?

Here's mine! :grin:

:cool:

The most I've carried was IN my MINI....tons of clothes and stuff...especially my beloved shoes, on my roadtrip! Our MINIs can haul an awful lot of crap! LOL! :cool:

Sweet shot Yucca. LOL. Would have loved to see that traveling down the road. Brings a smile to my face.

The most I've packed into my MINI is a few sacks of prezzies for Christmas. :grin:

Inside:

Sony 27" WEGA FS100 tv (in the box) the guys at Best Buy were like "no way" but once if was in they were :eek:

On another trip, I fit in a nice sized coffee table.

Much like Wicked Wanda, Ollie was burdened with more clothing than any one person could wear in 6 weeks, plus the shoes to match, for my road trip. To round it out there was also a convenience store worth of snacks, coolers of fruit and water, and 3/4 of Zaino's warehouse contents...

I didn't even bother attempting to pack reasonably--if it fit, it went. And man, did it fit!

:grin: :grin: :grin:

A6.5 ft xmas tree INSIDE . And most of my stuf out of a 4bd house.

Road trip from Miami to Virginia back in October....we packed enough clothes, etc, etc to last one week while on the road for two people and everything fitted without having to fold the rear seat backs.

On another ocassion we carried a big fold pane type wall divider...needless to say, the stares we got from SUV drivers were worth their weight in gold.. :lol:

Thirteen Clowns!

Which actually ended up being more than the 11 frat guys that I had in previously. Somehow the clowns were more flexible, plus they just kept fitting in somewhere. I didn't really believe it until I saw them all exit one at a time.

Yucca Patrol Dec 22, 2003 08:08 PM

You probably could have gotten 13 regular frat boys in too if they had not insisted on bringing the keg with them! :grin:

i fit a big single leather 3 position recliner in my mini. when i went to the store to pick it up the clarks were laughing at me coz the box is bigger than the backseat and boot.
i fit it in my baby min in the end with the boxes since i might reutrn them if they dont fit in my place. all of them were shocked in the store!! :wink:

:evil: :evil: :evil: But, dang....that IS funny! Got any pix? Tee hee! :razz: :cool:

Yucca,
Is that a safety device in case there is a big flood and the water level gets really high then the yellow kayak can act as a flotation piece to allow the MINI to be taken to safety. Of course you'd have to climb out of the MINI (roll up the windows and set the alarm) and up onto the boat to man the oars.

Whats the BIGGEST thing you've carried in/on your MINI?
Me!

I once loaded nine really heavy stones in my old Honda civic sedan- the suspension really didn't like that at all not to mention I think I was near my load limit or so it seemed.

Anybody put a Piano in a MINI? How about a Bear? An aquarium with water and fish inside? Just checking. :eek:

Nobull60 Dec 23, 2003 04:24 AM

Yucca don't forget that big dog you tote around town. And to answer your question the biggest thing I've hauled in my MINI is ME. :eek:

gokartride Dec 23, 2003 05:43 AM

Hmmmm....can't top Yucca on this but I did have 4 teenagers in my MINI once going to a homecoming dance. That's 4 passengers plus me driving. It was "a little tight" with 3 in that back seat. :razz:

05JCWS Dec 23, 2003 06:32 AM

I saw one carry a bunch of gold bricks in it. I think the gold bricks had a dancer on them. When I saw it I couldn't believe the suspension would have held up with all that gold, but somehow not only was the car capable of holding them, but it was darn fast as well.

Now if I can only remember where I saw it! Hmmmmmm.....

Driving_Hamster Dec 23, 2003 07:34 AM

I fit just under 500 square feet of Pergo Prodigy Laminate Flooring (Weathered Wheat Oak to be exact :cool: ).

Peace Out! Motor On.

Oh yeah, those Pergo flooring tiles are heavy as heck. We did full Pergo flooring in our apartment a little bit over 2 years ago and has been the best $$$ ever invested in new flooring. The floor has been of excellent quality and looks beautiful. I even had them do the closets, etc. I hate carpets! Our color is darker than your new Wheat Oak but it definetely looks nice and adds value to your home.

I agree, I would not recommend carrying Pergo flooring tile blocks in your MINI...it puts a lot of strain in the rear suspension.

I saw the same thing back in.. was it 1969 ? ....then again just recently but the cars were a little bigger the second time :roll: one more piece of tape to hold the box closed and it would not have fit without taking the seats out.

Full-size mattress and boxspring on top, but it was only about four blocks from the mattress store to my apartment.

My biggest thing was my Christmas Tree (7ft) on top.

The best answer so far, however, has to be "My Ex-Wife" :lol: :lol: :lol:
Although the 13 Clowns makes for a great visual...
