That almost looks like a Red Bull MINI but without the red bull can on the back

I really like the MINI pick up or El Camino. I should have tried harder to get one when I went searching for my 2006 S.

I bet the wheelbase is longer the the Red Bull.
Looks okay to me, for a MINI-Camino.

I like the original better but I would love to see a production model MINI.

I would buy one in a second if it looked like the redbull minis (minus the huge can on the back of course)

I'm sold already
I'm sure they will extend the wheel base for that. The Classic Mini was built at the same time as the Wagon and Panel vans. so it wasn't to herd to come up with a pickup.
If they decide to make a New one it will be off the new Clubman design.

I agree, anyone with 'dragon' in their display name must be tasteless.
P.S. - Mike, did you get my email about some bonnet stripes and two other smaller decals?

The Mini pick-up of that little red wagon in the back of the photo?
Matt
ps, love the ride, I've always like the Mini pick-up. How do you find the leg room (I heard the seat doesn't slide as far back....)?

Hey it's all about proper color matching
Hey Bill I totaly forgot about this photo. Somehow I never took one with my camera. Great shot BTW.

Thanks. I can't wait to start driving it around. I hope to have it in my little mits before the Unique Little Car show in April
I really think that with what MINI has done some far they will have no problem adapting the PickUp to the New Mini as well.
I dodn't really see it happening though. It's all about supply and demand. Americans need their BIG trucks.

Mike - if you have hair like that this year at MOTD you will seriously scare my wife - "You bought all this union jack stuff from THAT GUY? What did you pay him with, OUR SOULS???"
Meanwhile, my 7 year old would be yelling "AWESOMMME!!!"

That's cool. You can do some pretty groovy satanic style things with a good combover.
