I need more room to put stuff

Love my Mini and love drining it but I need more room for stuff. Anyone have any neat ideas on how to deal with all the stuff you have to have in the car when traveling?

Here is what I have already:
  1. Cup holder which attaches to the down tube
  2. The Armrest king with the small console
  3. The parcel shelf under the left dash
  4. The glove box organizer
  5. The organizer under the center of the dash
I could use another ashtray if anyone has one (the one that fits in the cup holder.

you needs to get the 'shifter storage' and its sold on ebay. just type in 'shifter storage' on the search and it should direct you to its page. its pretty affordable and it doesn't interfere with your preface interior.

hope this helps.

you'll appreciate the practicality but the visage might not be to your expectation.

not really a MINI mod, but I guess you can just grab a backpack and throw it in the passenger seat, or if you really have a lot of stuff, put down the back row and buy an organizer for the back

Storage underneath

YOu can also buy organizers to lay across the passenger seat and off the back of the seats. I'm assumong this is a mobile office, I often find I'm just in need of thinning out gas recipts.

what kind of stuff are you talking about? I carry computers, printers, cables POS paper every day and seem to have enough room with the back seats down, I bought a cargo liner that attaches to the headrest so nothing gets scuffed up

Gosh! You've got 5 more storage options than I have and I still manage to have a grandson with ALL of the usual baby junk and a car office for my antiquing business in my Mini. Where do you get these organizers at?

Yeah.... I got the "saddle bags" and while it does serve the purpose it is not what I expected and it is basically two bags to put stuff. But, that is what I asked for and I am satisfied.
