    I also was thinking that thing is not very much like a MINI. More monster truck me thinks. Maybe that will be MINI's next great thing. Monster MINI trucks, simply brilliant! :crazy:

    I'll never try that, but I will wear the De rigueur stuntman flat-brimmed cap (which, by-the-way, my very-much-not-from-the-streets 9 year old son now rocks).
