Now let's see if I can fit either my guitar or golf clubs! Both would be great!

Welcome to NAM. Well, what's the verdict? Was it the guitar or golf clubs or both? Thanks for the pic. Happy motoring.

1 guitar, Check!
2 guitars, Check!
2 guitars and a practice amp, Check!
1 golf bag, Check!
2 golf bags, Check!
2 golf bags and cooler, Check!
Sweeet! Each of these loads fit in back with passenger seats folded. Only down side is a little scuffing may occur, but hey, you have to sacrifice somehow. Or wrap ever thing in bubble wrap!

To stripe, or not to stripe? White, Black? Carbon Fiber? That is the question! Along with 5 million other accessory options. Maybe there is a forum for "Most practical accessories".

Welcome! I'm new around here too. Hoping that my basses and amp fit, seeing your guitars do I should be able to cram a bass or 2 in

Grats on the MINI.

Thanks mrathburn!

One of the guitars I tried is a Breedlove acoustic base w/ case, so no sweat. I could lay it flat diagonally or straight down the center on it's side, narrow end resting on the middle armrest.

Wow, love the color of your MINI! I recently de-striped my car, and have become partial to the look. If you're going to stripe, IMO black would look best. Maybe the simple two-stripe Sport stripes from bonnet to boot & over the roof. But in the end, MINIs are all about you-ification (and vinyl can always be removed) so do whatcha like!

Drive 'er in good health!

Edit: where in the Sunshine State are you? Check out Sunshine MINIs, as there are many active, spirited chapters throughout the state.
