I caught a very quick glimpse of a mini in an ad on channel 10 tonight.... the ad was for foxtel, it had lots of clips showing cars and whatever..... and in the middle of it there was a scene of a room in a house..... this guy had a cool mini desk in the room (a mini shell chopped at the window line and converted to an office desk)

It was red with 10 inch minilites or whatever brand they were...... and WOW did I want it :wink: :wink:

Has anyone managed to catch a still frame of that scene????

My parents were watching the show that the Mini desk was in. It was a reno show from the UK, where this couple bought this MASSIVE industrial building built in the 30's, and converted it into a house. The guy wanted something different, so went and bought a Mini and had it made into a desk! On one side it was missing the door, and some of the floor was cut out, so you would slide your chair under it.

Not in my new place!! I've purposely designed it to be easy to get that sort of stuff in. There's a drive thru garage and a 4 metre Bifold door at the back, so If I run out of workshop space......... :P :idea: :!:

I have seen photos of some in a few Mini World magazines (years ago).... but give me some time, there may be a site on the net somewhere.... when I find one, i'll put the link up.
