I am very proud that my son's entry into motoringfile.com's contest for the new MINI rail system was just announced as the winner!

He came up with the idea for a Lego table that would mount between the two rear seat passengers. Kids or adults could pass a lot of time playing and building lego models.

Great job Max!

 

Wow, congratulations to Max! That was a cool contest, but I'm sure it was hard to come up with something truly unique, and it sounds like he did!

 

Way to go Max!!!!!

 

Congrats to Max

 

Congrats! I love the sketch/blue print!

Winners



From Motoringfile:

"We just loved the simplicity of this idea. More than anything this idea captured the child-like spirit of the rail system. In fact the entire idea of the rail was inspired by Legos and the ability to create almost anything you want out of it. It seemed like the perfect winner. Here’s the description from Thomas himself:

This is my 11 year old son Max’s submission. It’s a lego table that sits on the rails between the two rear seat passengers, one of which might be a kid. It’s a flat surface covered in lego studs surrounded by a wall to contain the lego bricks. In each corner of the table, is a pocket which holds unused lego bricks.

Congrats to Thomas Ammentorp and his 11 year old son Max! They will be getting a first edition MINI Design book (MSRP around $140 – you can see a sneak peak here) autographed by Gert Hildebrand."

 

Thanks everyone. We enjoyed all the nice comments almost as much as winning the contest. I'll bring the book to an event or two for anyone who might want to take a look.

 

That is too cool. With a little imagination, Lego's can sure do some neat things.
