Is that the new rumored lightweight Mini?

Part of the allure and quality of the mini is that it can be so unique. This guy has just taken that one step further. Applaud his (or her) vision, rather than criticize their possible lack of, uh, well, taste.
Hell, some people might think that my choice of DS/DS was boring and dull. Who's to say they're right or wrong? It's my car, I can do whatever I want with it.

Expensive dune buggy! I love that someone did something for themself, as they wanted it, not caring what "others might think." It would be perfect as a second MINI if you live out in the desert! I want one!

lol! that thing is awesome. I can't say I'd wanna do that if I had only one mini, but if I had two. Can you imagine the looks that thing gets, all it needs is a water cannon that looks like a .50 cal on top, then you could have some fun.

All I can think is "Damn! Someone beat me to making mine a 4x4." But Tuls said he would divorce me if mine so much as cleared a spead bump more than 2 inches. As for the decoration I think the idea is great but it could of been designed a little better. What can I say, I grew up in the back woods where if they saw what I was driving now I'd be hog tied and flogged with a stick...a very large stick.

I couldn't figure out how to link it so check my gallery. It's in there listed as Video.

Thanks SB, I'll check it out.
In the time since I posted, I did a search and found an "American Life" video (on a spanish site) that was about four minutes long, but never saw a MINI. She did mention "Mini Cooper" at about the 2:49 mark however.

You werent kidding, it really was from a Madonna video? I just watched the video clip. I actually like Madonna, but that was pretty horrible. Funny part is that you can make any car screach and squeal like that in a parking garage with smooth floors like that. Hold on...
"I'm drinking instant lates. I get a double shot-eh. It goes right through my body and you know I'm satisfied. I drive my MINI Cooper, I'm feeling super duper. You can tell me I'm a trooper and you know I'm satisfied."
WTF?
That is really horrible. Go Mondonna. I guess.
