whatever happened to that mini mobile assistance that some dealers are supposed to have? i read about it in mc2. the car had a roof rack that carries 2 spare tires, like the original monte carlo rally cars. i want a roof rack like that

 

MINI of The Woodlands here in Texas has one of em!

 

Someone on NEMINI.org recently posted that they saw one of these on a highway in NJ, with "vehicle maufacturer" plates...

 

nobody thinks a roof rack like that would be cool? mount a spare and two driving lights on it? maybe i should go find a custom fabricator for it. how strong are the roof gutters? i was looking at them today and they seem to be plastic, dunno if they're strong enough to mount a rack to

 

I want one to! It could be a bit shorter than the photo and hold one spare. I like the light kit on the front idea also. A real Monte Carlo rally look!

 

Here is a few more photos of it.



I would like it to not hang over the front windshield. I think a good fab shop could hook this up.

 

Looks like you have to drill holes in the roof!

 

Looks like the rack utilizes the stock mounting points for the OEM rack which requires drilling into the roof.

 

I'm pretty sure that it uses the same holes as the factory rack so there is already nuts build into the roof for it. You just have to drill through the outer skin. Not that, that's not scary as hell. But there are templates for the hole locations so it is doable.

 

You beat me to it. I need to type faster.
