I know... kinda silly but my daughter thinks it'd be cool to have a wind up key in the rear tow hook place... I DID search, but came up empty... Any suggestions? (Polite ones only please)

That is really a great idea!! Lots of folks have had fun w/ the "pull to inflate" tow hook....why not this??

 

I like it! I think I'm gonna build one!

 

If anybody gets the MC2 magazine, there was an article about a husband and wife who had matching new and old mini's and she had a bit turn key installed on the back of her classic mini with an electric motor so it would turn when she hit the switch...i thought it was really cool and original.

 

If I were to try something like this I'd start by checking the toy store for something plastic to modify in the little kiddies section.

 

sounds like fun = I want one too!

 

Try this http://www.windupkey.com/

 

I love that!

 

Or at $8.00, try this . . .

Another wind up key

 

Clayvet,the couple you mentioned are the Nelsons, Jessica,and Norm of the REME club here in Northern Ca.Q

 

I believe we have a winner....wait, two winners!!!

 

I might buy one of these to put on my Mini at shows. Everyone says it needs a wind up key.

 

A nice addition to your show kit!!!

 

I tried to order the $8 version:

The item is not currently available. Please check back later.

 

Wow...could demand be that high???

 

Will this void Mini warranty if you tap in their 12v supply wire?

 

High demand???? Hmmmm....money making opportunity!!!!!!!! :-)
If I re-design some thing smaller and might be better....would you guys buy???

1/2 kidding 1/2 serious.

 

Well, you DID just share it with the MINIverse...and since we all seem to have a quirky sense of humor...I can see the demand being pretty high!!

 

Oh yes!!!

You build it and many will buy it!!!

 

OMG! That is hilarious!

 

Alright...this will be my Summer project. If I have time....I'll build a prototype and send it to the MODS in here for evaluation...patten it it and make a fortune :-)

 

I would so buy one!! I smaller one though , as MDLMini suggests one that would fit the rear tow.

 

Wow. that is one expensive playful mod..... I like it tho

 

I'll try one out for you.

I live in Virginia Beach and between the Hubby and I we travel the touristy stripe area at least once or twice a weekend for a cruise. High visablity means more sales!!!

 

I saw the windup key from that first link on a MINI already here near where I live.

To me it would be funny for a little while...but eh..
