I think that's a brilliant idea and it looks great.

How much? Too much!

If I was to make a shooting break, it wouldn't be using a mini as a base.
Maybe a Bentley Turbo R, or Porsche 928S. Something big, powerful with lots of room.

I'm loving the fold down seats... Certainly makes the mini look like it can compete with commercial cars like the swift etc for room.

I have a mini with fold down rear seats, split rear opening doors, and it has even more room than that one.

It's called a Countryman :wink:

While I apprecaite the work that went into it, I like a Countryman or Traveller better than this car. Looks better and more space. That's why I have aTraveller!

I think I said the same thing last time someone posted those pics. :)

I saw one like that (could be that one) at the IMM2009 at Longbridge. The detail and finish was superb. There were heaps of Limo's, 4WD's, Ute's and some realy creative mods.
