Most liked posts in thread: Mini on a Countryman?

I know thats how they would transport mini race cars back in the day

 

Found it.....

When MINI first launched in the US they mounted one on top of an SUV to show just how small it was. Well, with the launch of the all-new, four-wheel drive Countryman, MINI isn’t so mini anymore. So we simply couldn’t resist mounting a classic MINI on top of the Countryman, to show just how much we’ve grown. The copy on the side of the Countryman reads: “Holds everything you need for a fun weekend.â€

 

OUTSTANDING :cornut::crazy:

 

I know that it is, but in those pictures the CM does not look all that much larger.

Thats kind of a replay of an early promotion where they put a MINI ontop of some huge SUV (Chevy Suburban ?)

I wouldn't want to do any spirited cornering with that setup

 

Exactly. Even though it's big for a MINI, most people don't realize that it's not very big in comparison to other vehicles ... in fact, it's the same size as a Honda Fit!

 

Both my neighbors have a Fit and it's definitely bigger. I liken it more to a RAV4, CRV, etc

 

Now I want to buy a Countryman and an original mini. And take it to the track just like that! No trailer! :arf:

 

I found it on the advertising agency's site.

 

Yes, it's about 1.5 inches taller, and about 3.5 inches wider, but it's actually the exact same length as the Fit (13.475 ft), and is 6 inches shorter than a Scion xB and 1.68 feet shorter than a RAV4.

 

I was awake all last night wondering how it stacked up against the competition :crazy:

One thing about the MINI is the height adjustability of the seat. It allows people to feel as though they're sitting higher (in a bigger vehicle) that other cars, which only go backwards and forwards. So the Countryman can feel bigger than it really is.

 

I'd buy a ticket to see this.....
