Oh pardon my 'repost'. I was in such shock when I saw this I couldn't wait to post about my sighting. Next time I will do a search as to not offend.

I think that they did a good job with the car. If one of these went up for sale I would pick it up in a second! Sure, I would get rid of the vinyl and then I would have a cool MINI truck.

And before Red Bull got their hands on a MINI, the did the same treatment to a Mini....

I think it's cool that a company thought enough of our Minis to want to use them in advertising. I mean come on it's not meant to be a daily driver 
. I like the Red Bull Mini. Maybe Red Bull picked the Mini because our little cars make you feel so good when you drive em, kinda like you have wings 
I dunno.

as of 2 weeks ago mini of peabody in mass had 10 of these mini's pre conversion. It seemed red bull wasnt ready to take delivery of a bunch so mini put them out to dealers. They all start as base silver automatics. So if anyone needs a stripped silver auto. give joel a call at MoP

I don't mind the Red Bull MINIs. Zip Car has MINIs too, its cool that they're using MINIs but it kinda stinks because I've found myself waving to Zip Car MINIs before I realized it and their drivers are totally clueless. Then I just feel like a Jack***

Hey Lynn...
The Red Bull MINI comes in the dealership from time to time to get work done & give us free samples!
Could you please e-mail me privately with an address I can send you a cute pic I took of you at MITM's. I'm still a bit behind the times with computers so I printed it. Yes... a "real" photo!!
Hope all is well. I can't wait for next years MITM's!

Hey Snooter, I have been wondering how to get in touch with them to see if our local Red Bull Mini would come to one of our events but I don't know how. Do you call some general customer service phone # or is there some super secret phone # you could share
