....and going by the slogan on the door, they actually admit that the classic Mini is more fun.
In fact, that the MINI will give you no fun at all and you need to be able to carry something with you for a fun weekend.

Thereby clearly illustrating that the MINI is not worthy its name as it's getting bigger and bigger (even bigger than the average Golf etc)

How have they done that? Its a lot of weight to perch up there.
I first thought they might have borrowed it from this guy, but it seems to be a real Mini and unless they've pulled the suspension down it seems to have its engine in too.

It looks as if there is some sort of support cage built into the cab of the C/Man to take the weight of the hitch hiker.

Wouldn't you just love to see that rig try to go around a corner at speed?
Except, of course, the damage the poor MK1 would surely incur.
And, is it just me or is the front wheel on the original Mini larger in diameter than the rear?
