It would suck if your MINI ended up on one of these ships! haha

1st pic - oops "timmmmbbberrrrrrrr"
2nd pic - apart from being hard to get back to the Port, I bet this cargo is just fine!
3rd pic - I bet most of the cargo is actually OK, minus the few "impact absorbers"
4th pic - doh - many boxes sacrificed their lives for the few that are above the water-line, lol. "So that's why my MINI's paint is so thin/soft!"

Fortunately, our MINI's travel on dedicated car transport ships rather than container ships.

Once again, here is a pic of the Aida, which has transported many of our MINI's

I think the first pic should show a guy walking around with a large rubber stopper he found below decks, scratching his head with a puzzled look.

Accidents happen.

People that sail the pacific ocean will find a loan container drifting aimlessly at sea without a ship.
So much for arriving safely. And you thought the $550 destination fee was fake.

I hope it isn't on one of these ships. My boat was scheduled to arrive March 4th. Now it's delayed for some unknown reason
:evil:

No, I'm sure it's not on any of these ships... I found these on a website and thought they were funny. I know MINI doesn't use these ships to send over the cars
