I noticed the familiar little behind sticking out of the back end of this behemoth in a picture in TIME magazine. It prompted me to check out their website - lo and behold, they have a MINI pictured on the web page as well as an animation.

Unfortunately, even after the MINI having been state-side for over a year, TIME still referred to it as the "BMW Mini Cooper." :evil:

This reminds me of this old thread in which the idea was discussed of MCO members purchasing something like this to use on a time-share arrangement!

Now, if only I was retired and loaded instead of unemployed and strapped.

So, you get the mini pulled it to the RV, how do you get out of the mini? Better make sure you order the sun roof.

You'd best have the cable release for the boot installed! I think I'd have to take up yoga in order the be able to get out in that case. No "mother ship" for me, thank you.

I'm pretty sure you just drive onto the ramp, get out and then the ramp pulls the car into the garage.
