My 'new' MINI

SPDinNY · Motorer

how much do they go for and how much is shipping? Or are they carry-on?

They are pocket size actually....but EU TSA probably will have some issues with brining a car onboard. This one i got for 138,000 KC, which is about 8500. Shipping, Im not sure about, but with Tom, Joe and Jon all wanting one we could probably rent a boat and bring em over lol ...problem is getting them past emmisions...... but if you look online, you can find ways that people have got by the emmision rules...
Ooo i just noticed, I'll have to update my sig!

Ok, I'll start building a raft to get all of the Minis you're going to find for us back here. Duct tape, soda bottles and some leftover lumber from home improvement projects should do it, right? Well, maybe a GPS unit so the rowers know what to steer toward but let's not get fancy.

Did you name her yet?

Seems that they might just fit in a shipping container labeled "bobcat" LOL

Hmm I'm thinking that maybe we could wrap the MINIs up in Blankets, and somehow trick a flock of storks into flying them over, I think it may be faster than the rowers, Plus the MINIs are small enough where i think this could work...
and no, still no name,..... i was thinking of Becky, or Rebbecca, but I'm not sure...also There is a small problem with translation....In Czech, Car is a noun with a male form to it (similar to El vs La in spanish) so the previous owners considered her a him, and called him Modrik (pronounced Mud rheek and it roughly translates into 'blue' (modra is blue adding the 'ik' makes it a playful name)). So I'm still trying to decide on the sex of the car and hope it doesn't have a sex identity crisis. But if i go with deciding its a guy, then i think that I'd go with Blue (makes me think of Blue for old school).
And because I know someone is going to suggest this, YES, I have looked underneath the MINI, and no I still don't know what sex it is.

LoL, I'll start saving crates from work
