    I for some reason feel the need to apologize for some of my generation. I don't know where we went wrong. But I think that is our fault. But at least we aren't the current generation. They are freaking worthless.

    Does this mean the Clubvan will hang around for awhile longer?

    Not in the US. MINI US said they are done with it. They only sold 50 cars and feel the Chicken Tax has priced it out of the market.

    I guess the questions is if MINI sells this as a camper as depicted it would be exempt from the "Chicken Tax" would it not? Just askin'....:idea:

    They have been created as concept vehicles to showcase the depth of the MINI range, as well as the creativity and skill within the company’s design and engineering staff. There are no plans to offer them as production vehicles at this stage.

    The Cowley looks a lot like one of these that a friend of mine pulls with her R53, so I guess the April Fools were MINI as she had it MOTD 2012! Little Guy Teardrop Trailers - Home
