Tis the season to be Merry, and hat better way to start it off than purchasing a roof rack for your MINI and strapping a 7' Christmas tree to it? Well, here it is. And I always wonder why my friends call me Clark W. Griswold all the time...............

Love it! What a classic movie.

 

Same adventure sans roof rack a couple years ago. Not as nicely color matched as yours of course. I guess mine is more of a (pure) "silver bells" theme. Sure got a lot of laughs and smiles. Probably more on the drive back.

 

Nice MINI. Not too sure about the aftermarket spoiler. Looks like it would effect top end and cornering.

 

Im looking for a big red nose for my Mini .

 

HO, HO, HO a'Christmas tree shoping we go!

 

Christmas Spirit bump

 

this made me lol

 

haha, that's great!

I once drove 30 kms from a tree lot to our apartment with a christmas tree just laying on the roof of my 2004 Ford Probe. We opened the sunroof and my wife held it down while I drove. Couldn't go over 40km/h. lol.

 

lol thats great!

 

Absolutely a classic move. I certainly got some looks and I really enjoyed it. I probably watch Lampoons Christmas Vacation 5-6 times every x-mas season and I can't get enough of it. I got the roof rack specifically to be able to go get a tree (and for skiing), and I think it worked out well.

 

hehe, thanks.

I just re-read what I wrote. It was a 94 Probe, not a 2004.

 

At the SF Int Car Show over the Thanksgiving weekend, they had a Clubman with simulated wood siding that would have made this "Griswald" picture even better!

I should have taken pics.

 

i was thinking about that..... did they still make the probe in 2004? i dont think so.

 

xmas bump

 

My 7ft Xmas tree fit inside my clubby!

 

Showoff!

 

Yeahhhhhhh, I wasnt going to be able to fit my tree in the car, but that is cool to know that you could for other peoples reference. I would suppose you would also get some funny looks from people who saw it inside your car as opposed to on top.

 

Well, if I would get off my cheap butt and buy the crossbars for my roof rails, I could have strapped it on top, but nooooooooooo.......

Since they "bagged" it up for me it didn't lave too bad a trail of pine needles in the car, and it certainly smelled nice inside too!

 

Christmas Bump!
