A friend tipped me off to this link...she saw it on TV this morning (CNNFN or CNBC...) and saw a MINI parked IN this monster. I'm on the road for work five days a week...I guess this would be a way to bring my new toy with me on the road when I finally get it!

I've heard of mobile homes...but one with a garage!?

Why is it that the first two things I think of when I see that is:

A: Knight Rider
B: Spy Hunter (the video game)

Yeah, I thought Knight Rider too. Actually, I just realized this past weekend that my MINI-to-be (all black) is a mini-version of KITT. That, plus the fact that I'm currently homeless (5 nights/week in a hotel in Philly, 2 nights with friends or family up and down the East Coast) kinda puts me in the market for one of these!

...and to think, I used to joke that the MINI would fit in the back of a Ford Excursion...I wasn't far off...

So are you going to put the red light bar thing in the intercooler opening?

HOLY CRAP! Would you believe that since I got Molly in June I've been telling my wife that I wanted a Motorhome with a garage to take Molly in?!!!!! I can't believe it already exists. I certainly cannot afford that behemoth, but I can dream, right?!!!

Mini2Go--

I guess this is really a vacation home too, right? We could get a few MINI owners, and do a timeshare...Beachfront property, in the mountains, whatever you want!

Davbret--

The red lights would be fun... I need the car first, but after that... I could even get one of those voice interfaces from a Mercedes or Infiniti. Then it could talk to me too...

~Scooper~ Ooooh, what a great idea! I like it, I like it!!!

Since it is mobile, we could coordinate trips so that one person's destination is another person's departure point (then drive your MINI back home)!


As for the KITT idea, I can envision a black MCS with custom installed LEDs in the front edge of the "mail-slot" that blink back and forth.....

Get the NAV - it talks.
