The horror! MINI-truck sighting today.

I woke up and found a MINI-truck parked in front of my house!!! Okay, I photoshopped the license plate.

The classic Minis came in a pickup option but they were used primarily for commercial purposes and most didn't survive.

I think that thing is very cool looking...I guess some would like 'em and some won't...I wouldn't mind owning one as a collector's car/daily driver

Mini Trucks are the coolest and getting harder and harder to find at a reasonable price. Don't forget the Mini Van...

Jeff, I had one almost exactly like that, except that there were no windows along the sides in the back. A GREAT car. 9 people in it on the way to a football match. Camping gear for 11 people in the back for a 3 hour drive.
That's the car that almost fell on me. I was under it replacing a broken uni joint when it started falling sideways off the jack. A burst of adrenaline and I pushed it back up, slid out and went and found some jack-stands. It halped that the whole car only weighed about 1000 pounds.
