While I was flying from Camden airport today, I spotted something really interesting in the hanger of Airborne Aviation http://www.airborne-aviation.com.au There were two PS Mini Coopers undergoing a major operation to become utes. These vehicles are to be used as Red Bull promotional vehicles. See what you think, maybe if us Aussies like it enough we can convince Mini to introduce a ute to the product range

Photos of the work in progress:

Try a quick search for redbull, or red bull, you will see the finished articles on here somewhere!

When I was at the same hanger a few weeks before, there were actually 3 Minis. So expect to see 3 Red Bull Mini Utes hitting the streets of Sydney soon! They are all PS CVT Coopers, so far they still have the stock 15" wheels, not sure if this will change.

Also, it's pretty much certain that Red Bull will absolutely destroy the look of the car by putting one of their ridiculously large cans on top of the Mini. You might notice that the photos show mounting points for a can, so it's probably going to be mounted diagonally.

Thanks Paul!

I had a feeling that it's been done elsewhere...but I guess these must be the first in Australia!

It's also interesting looking at the way they've been cut apart/rebuilt.

Red Bull is now a sponsor of MINI2 Clubs. Thanks to jaydubs investigative nature, he gave us the idea to approach them as a potential sponsor for MINI2 NSW and eventually nationally.

As at 3.30 this afternoon (Tues Aug 19) we have entered an initial arrangement which, if successful, will see Red Bull as a regular sponsor for MINI2 Clubs.

Red Bull will be guest speakers at the Breakfast for our September Drive. There will now be no excuses for feeling a little jaded about getting up early for our breakfast briefing. A Red Bull or two and you will have wings.

Read about it on our News Page

Hi jennette

,

If you visit www.redbull.com.au / news tab / Mobile Energisers there is a contact for anybody wanting to join the Red Bull team.

If you get the gig, you might be energising us for our trip to the South Coast in September
