Thanks - I think it's being blocked by the server at work.

You must be at work vunderbrah like me. Nothing appears. I copied the link from the description bubble in the MINI TALK main page and when I did that it came up with the blocked screen. My work filters out certain types of sites and this one is one of them.

The link is...

http://www.funpic.hu/files/pics/00019/00019663.jpg

When you get home see if the pic shows in the thread and if it doesn't then click on that link.

Update: Well my company's filter is no longer blocking the site (happens sometimes) but that link ends up going back to the index before showing whatever the pic is. Someone who can see it should copy it to their computer and then attach it as a thumbnail.

Amazingly enough it's not. I've seen that MINI in a few books over the last few years. That's a real car that some modder chopped up, not a photo that's been played with.

For those that cannot see it. Here is the pic. If the original poster or the site does not want me posting the image, please let me know and I will remove it.

It has the claustrophobic feel of the defunct Corbin Sparrow.

Looks strikingly similar to the latest craze in photochoppery...

I did see that exact sort of mod done in real life to a VW beetle on a recent trip to Mexico. Sorry I didn't have the camera on me at the time.

Well, I was the original poster and I appreciate your effort. I had to leave for work and didn't take the time to download the pic and re-upload it so it would work. (Sorry this ended up causing probs for some people!)

Assuming it's real - how do you think you get and out of the thing?

"Dukes of Hazzard" method, it would appear.

Yes, the photo is real. The Mini Shorty scene has quite a following and there are quite a few throughout the world. I find this quite disturbing! As if the clown-car image needed further fuel for the fire! That particular car happens to be the smallest one in the world and requires the driver to climb in and out of the window. Yes, there are new MINI Shorties - I have seen two so far.

It was featured in MINI Magazine several months ago. A few more:
