Thats awsome. We need to come up with a sticker that could be placed on our rear window. This could be the new trademark of the New Mini generation. It could let everyone know we truely have something in common.

I heard Frank Stephenson speak at Autoweek's Design Forum a couple years ago and he told that story. I'd recommend the Forum to all in the area.

I read that a while ago on MINIUSA, and I just had a ball thinking, "why on earth would a beer can be the model for an exhast pipe?" Now I know, and I have you to thank for it. So thank you jstines. Thank you very much. :smile:

 

It's a Heineken "keg" can...makes me thirsty every time I look at the rear of my MCS...
