Will THAT fit in a Countryman?

Since the Clubmans have a thread with pictures of all kinds of "stuff" they can fit inside so shall the Countryman.

Parkerton stated it simply so no need to reinvent the wheel..

The idea is to answer the eternal question..."Will THAT fit in a Countryman?"

To help in this effort, please post pictures of things that you've fit in your Countryman. To keep things consistent, please use the following naming convention preceding your picture:

Yes, a (insert object) WILL fit in a Countryman.

Ha! I've started a series of posts on my blog with the tag whatcanIfitinmyMINI because I think it's awesome to see all different MINIs showing off their capacity.

So, to start off my contributions to this theme with a picture from a recent post...

Yes, an entire week's worth of lakehouse vacation stuff and two dogs WILL fit in a Countryman.

A Little Giant M22 ladder, 5-9ft A frame and 11' to 19' straight:



Yes, it does require the front seat is pushed all the way up and folded forward a bit... It lays totally flat say you can stack things on top of it, in the MCS it has to be resting on the top of the front seat to fit.

From earlier this summer...

Stuffed with enough stuff for 2 adults and 2 kids for 2 weeks. A very full ski box certainly helped!!

Great Hauler

Used the Countryman to pick up some wood pellets from Home Depot for my stove. The Countryman didn't even sag a bit with the 600 lb load. Love this car!

I don't have the picture - but some guy at the Dragon does- a otter Kayak fits if you lean the front seat back and rear seat on oppisite side forward and tie the boot down Should have put it on top but did not have a carrier installed.

I had a 9' x 12' rug folded up in the back of mine along with a car seat i forgot to remove before I went shopping. Maybe the Countryman will win the North American Truck of the Year award. Works for me.

Just to bump the thread:

Yes, our old IKEA bed WILL fit in a Countryman (for a trip to the dump).



More pics of that (including one with the broken-down bedframe on the roofrack) in a blog entry.

Damn I love this thread.

I carried a carload (a little over 800 pounds) of 7' cherry lumber and molding when I was building my theater. Had a little red flag out the back and a bungee. It was actually kind of adorable.

I wish I had taken a picture.

Mojito, are there any other pictures of your car here? I'll be ordering a Surf Blue Mini also, and I've just been looking at pictures of what surf blue owners are doing with their cars.

Thanks!

Mojito, I'd especially love to see the tobacco color line, as that's what I'm thinking of ordering as well. What seats did you get??

I'll post some more soon in the surf blue thread. Sadly I've been away from her the past couple weeks on vacation, stuck with a chrystler 200 convertible.

Oh, that is sad Mojito. Out of curiosity, why do you call her Night Fury?

We've been upgrading ourdoor furniture lately, and this bench rocker needed to go - a little bigger than 2' x 3' x 4'. It just fit with the hatch closed.

I carried a deer home in the Countryman yesterday. It was an average sized doe.

Below are links to pictures if you are curious how it fits.

Please don't click on the links if dead deer offend you.
