Got my new travel cooler today...seems pretty...well....err cool.

It is a 6l unit that happily sits in the MINI's boot (i even managed to use the metal hooks on the boot floor to secure it). I reckon you will get 7/8 cans in there or 4 cans and alot of grub.
It will take up to 2 hours to reach optimum temp..which is 15degs below ambient temperature.
We will see how good it is at MITP where i will be camping over with skinny and having beer and BBQ in the evening...ahhh i love the summer.

Cool

M.2 · Jul 25th, 2002, 02:02 PM

When you say you can get 7/8 cans in, is that lager tins or norman size coke tins?

We borrrowed one about twice that size for our trip to the cottage. If you start off with a small ice-pak, or even a few of the cans pre-chilled, then the cooler gets cold immediately, and stays cold. They're really quite neat, and in the boot you can't even hear the thing over the exhaust (of the S).

...and to think, I thought the power jack in the boot was silly.

Minty,

It does look rather cute, and a good price too.

I might be able to get a couple more at a discounted price, if anyone wants one

monsta · Jul 25th, 2002, 06:08 PM

I had one of those at Beaulieu but mine doesn't have those cup stands on the lid

Didn't really need anything cooling then either, a warm blanket would have been more useful

Don't MINI make one of these.....sure I saw one in the accessories brochure.

JonBlakeburn · Jul 28th, 2002, 07:30 AM

They most probably do... Not too sure I fancy a MINI cooler at BMW prices though!

Electrc109 · Jul 28th, 2002, 12:57 PM

MiNiGuY · Jul 30th, 2002, 11:11 AM

Minty, that is so, er , COOL

I love the look and it's size is great, not too small or big.
I would really love to get one for my boat, so could you say how much and where I could get one please. I am also interested as to how many watts it draws.
It's just right for my needs.
Cheers

Minty · Jul 30th, 2002, 03:37 PM

i should be able to get them for under £30, i guess about £27, but i will confirm it at work tomorrow.

It is a Ring Automotive Travel Cooler, part number RC89100. I get them at a good price through work.

Power consumption is 3 amps (approx 36 watts) at 12 volts

MiNiGuY · Jul 30th, 2002, 06:05 PM

Cheers.
I've decided i'm going to try and get one.
Do you know of a number I can ring to order??.

Minty · Aug 1st, 2002, 02:57 PM

You can call Ring direct on 0113 276 7676.

See what price they give you.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
