I was just wondering what people have managed to fit in their MINI's. Pictures are needed to prove it. No "I once fit an H2 in my MINI" stories unless you have a picture. I'll kick it off with my picture of 15 trumpets (in cases) in my MINI

 

WOW, that pic says it all..... I cant even see it. But I believe you, thats awesome.

 

I have no proof but i did fit a 27" TV in the box in the mini... and another time my wheels and tires... but thats no big deal

 

looking for proof where it was posted on an old Hampton bay days car show.. all the stuff i carried .. once i find it ill repost what i had.. you may or may not believe it =)

 

4 kegs, sorry no pics.

 

I've moved twice in a MINI once with everything I owned.

I've also fit 5 run flats in the back seat, the boot was already full.

Pics of what I and others have fit

 

4 adults (three over 6 ft, one of those 6'10"+), two 5 gallon buckets of baseballs, an ice chest (30 quart?) and a baseball equipment bag (5 helmets + catcher's gear).

 

I'll see your 15 trumpets and raise you 2 cellos + all of my clothes and a futon mattress with all of the bedding included . Shortly thereafter I moved back to my college town and fit, well.. everything I own. Unfortunately.. the recent purchase of my MCS has not allowed me to afford a digital camera as of yet.

 

Here is Wicked Wanda as I packed her for last year's annual cross-country road trip (in April 2005). After I got everything packed, I tossed a quilt over it all, and tucked it in, which prevents rattles.

I packed one large suitcase, a large denim grab-bag full of shoes and boots, a carry-on bag, covered baskets with supplies for the MKO Dragon Welcome Dinner, a suitcase with art supplies, a small briefcase, the laptop, a cd wallet, a dvd wallet, several purses and totes, scarves, jackets, a packing box of snacks, waters, lots of microfiber towels, detailing supplies, two folding chairs, umbrellas, walking stick, some hats, a lap blanket and several pillows. I'm sure I'm forgetting some of the things....

Please note the cool classic Mini cosmetic case (left foreground) my sis and her hubby gave me a few years ago, and the little beanie baby dragon, "Scorch," on the dash!

 

No picture, but I put a rolled up 7'-6" square area rug into mine. It went right between the seats, and squeezed between the speedo and the rear-view. Even got the hatch closed!

 

This isn't a claim for large cargo, but for probably one of the biggest people to fit in a MINI. I was showing my MCS to Gilbert Brown, a 350 pound former Green Bay Packer who is a great car buff. He asked if he could sit in it. Here is the photo for proof.

Gilbert owns many American classic cars. He was VERY impressed with the interior of my MCS. He said, "Did you do all these mods, like add these gauges and chrome?"

I said, "No, it came this way."

He was playing with the switches and things and says, "You didn't do these mods? It came this way? Man this is pretty cool."

If a MINI can impress a car guy like Gilbert, that's quite a compliment.

 

That is amazing right there. Gilbert Brown made other NFL players look small.

 

Agreed i think i can't top having Gilbert Brown in the car. but i did find the pix from the old car show i did. when doing the show i had. 23" tv, Xbox(of course) picnic table, 2 steering wheels (for the xbox), 10'x10' EZ UP shade [from here on cant be seen in pix] custom sub box fitting 2 x12" subs. 1-large cooler approx 2'x3'x2'tall, 5 folding chairs, 2 boxes of cleaning supplies, 24 choclate bars (Hershey Special Dark with Hershey label remove to resemble Gold bricks), 1/2" Hammerdrill, 4 blasting caps, 2 racing helmets. All this was back in early 2003.

I dont have any pixs of my current racing loads which includes 4 rims and tires . 1.5 ton jack, cooler, aircompressor (small auto fits under the seat) assorted cleaning, marking and other car supplies, Tool box x 2 (kind that looks like a suit case), Impact wrench and 2 helmets

I used the MINI to drop-off bags of fertilizer once. We didn't even come close to filling up the back end...we were watching the weight more. Overall, it was not the most volume I've hauled, but it did get the best reaction...other people showed up w/ much larger vehicles and couldn't believe I had the audacity to come in a MINI. They were very impressed, though, and still talk about it to this day.

 

We once put a bathroom vanity and a toilet in the boot of our mini, no pics, but the guys at homedepot got a kick out of it.

 

I fit a 7.0 cubic foot chest freezer. The guy at Lowes bet me $10 it wouldn't fit. Needless to say, it fit with room to spare, and I did not take his money .

 

A nice load of Christmas presents including a jigsaw!

 

I think only MINI owners would have pictures of their vehicle full of stuff. Keep the pictures coming!

 

Well, this doesn't beat an NFL lineman but this is a shot of the boot of my MINI as we were leaving on the Tour Du Nord. There is a full size spare tire, luggage, food, survival gear and 2 sets of snow shoes in there.

 

Photos to come, but later this afternoon I will be motoring with my 3 Saint Bernards, weighing just over a total of 400 pounds!

 

I can't wait to see your pics yucca, that ought to be a sight

 

Rats! no picture, but I did get a 1968 Ford Mustang front fender in there. It was really tight length-wise.

 

6'7", 285 pound, ME.

 

So, did they tell you "you are SO full of it, John!?"

 

At MOTD4, we filled up the entire "cabin"...



AND pulled a trailer...
