    MINI ran a very clever advertising campaign in the Middle East with their Countryman. The car was stripped out and dropped into the middle of a tank at the Aquarium of the Dubai Mall.

    Could be a good test, see how long it takes before it becomes a pile of rust. :)

    What do you think in the salt water, 1 yr, 3yr, 5yr. before it disappears?

    Being it is a fiberglass replica rust is not an issue.

    Glad to hear this.... Kept worrying about fluid leaks with all those fishies swimming by. Must be my subconscious reminding me of the BP debacle.....
