My wife and I just ordered a new Clubman S on Saturday. We're replacing our '04 LY/B MCS, so everyone we know knows what a MINI is.

For the rest of the weekend, everytime I heard her on the phone telling someone about the purchase, this is what she was saying: "It looks just like a little hearse, except that it's red instead of black."

 

Actually have heard it referred to as such, though not by someone who was buying one.

Perhaps this is something to consider writing into my will - must be transported to the great beyond via MINI Clubman?

 

The only car that I have recently heard people say thought looked like a hearse is the P T Cruiser.
The closest thing to a negative term I have heard regarding a Clubman is that it looks like a miniature station wagon.
I can, however, imagine OTRA putting that clause into her will.. ..

 

My wife thought the black one looked like a hearse too... hence white :-)

 

Lolly is not Hearse. She is Mayan.

 

My mother-in-law thought that a PT Cruiser that I once owned looked like a hearse.
The PT Cruiser was the worst car purchase that I ever made.

 

A Mini Hearse for Mini People? Hmmmmm. Interesting marketing angle.

 

It would be a great vehicle for someone interested in starting a "Pet Semetary"

 

HIS name is Carmen? All the other cars might make fun of him . . .

Congrats!

 

If it is used as a hearse, I suggest not mentioning MINI handling prowess in the twisties.....it might be off-putting to clients.

 

If it was used as a hearse it would probably wake up the dead person!

 

I sometimes refer to it as my clown hearse --> since many of my coworkers call MINIs clown cars.

 

Goth it up, Clubmen.

 

Clowns scare me...

 

Can you tell I was bored?

 

I use mine as a Hearse to take Munchkins to the Eyternal Resting Place in Oz.

 

Yes, HIS name is Carmen Dragon, named after the late Hollywood Bowl Symphony Orchestra Conductor and father of "The Captain" of Captain & Tenille, Daryl Dragon...

 

Nice work, funny.

 

It needs purple tinted glass, red curtains, and a shrunken head dangling from the rearview. Maybe a "PHANTASM" vanity plate?

 

Saturn,

Thanks. It's great!
