Does anyone know anything about this?

I have it on good authority that one of them arrived in sydney on a pallet this morning.

KGB · Mar 1st, 2005, 04:07 AM

it'd need a JCW kit and the upgrade....

ScottyB · Mar 1st, 2005, 04:19 AM

wow, in Sydney!

Mike Clarke · Mar 1st, 2005, 04:28 AM

The XXL is here for the Melbourne motor show, althougjh I think it should be consigned to the scrap yard. It is an abomination.

It is on page 9 of this month's mini experience mag.

While on the mag; Robbo & Stu get an honourable mention for Mt Buller with a picture of Robbo's car on page 27 and Stu's car is on page 75 advertising the next issue.
Get your copies autographed at the NSW clubMINI launch.

Todd! · Mar 1st, 2005, 04:34 AM

Maybe it will be here for a suprise BMW stand at the clubMINI launch... along with the red devil

It's a joke, right?

No it is real, the abomination was used at the Athens Olympics and rumour has it that a second one is nearing completion or even has been completed.

So I take it you're not a fan then

Don't blame you....it's not-quite-right

IML337 · Mar 2nd, 2005, 09:51 AM

This car was driving through North Sydney today!!

poki · Mar 2nd, 2005, 10:48 AM

It looks quite fugly in the pictures I have seen. Does it look any better in the flesh Tim?

IML337 · Mar 3rd, 2005, 12:06 AM

I didn't see it - a friend I had lunch with did... she said it looked kinda weird.

^UB^ · Mar 3rd, 2005, 09:08 AM

Its at BMW Sydney!

Caught a glimpse of it just as the gate was coming down for closing... they parked it on the driveway just inside of the gate, probably cause it doesnt fit any parking spaces in the dealership.

I'll go spy through the gate a little later

Todd! · Mar 3rd, 2005, 09:47 AM

Its in town for the clubMINI launch.

doona · Mar 3rd, 2005, 10:52 AM

Would be better if they let us MINI owners have a ride in it

That would be the ultimate pimping ride if there's more bling blings...LOL.

doona · Mar 3rd, 2005, 11:31 AM

They should make it a standard model.....it Could be like the mini people mover

Todd! · Mar 3rd, 2005, 11:38 AM

YEah, great idea! Two extra runflats to destroy

Tigger, Eeyore & Roo · Mar 3rd, 2005, 12:56 PM

I don't understand my reaction to this car at all...

The fad for US style stretch limos has only recently arrived in the UK and I hate them. There is something so brash and tasteless about them. For the ultimate in zero taste I remember seeing a Hummer H2 (DON'T get me started on SUV's!) converted to one as well.

However, the shape of the MINI really adapts well to it and this limo actually looks good. Bet it will have become a pig to drive though.
