Thanks for taking on this task! It's great to once again have a vehicle to communicate! On a humurous note, I bought a snowblower last night, and golly, I just couldn't stuff it in the Mini, and I wasn't about to let them strap it on the roof! Bill aka "Cogman"
So what size snowblower did you buy? Last year I bought a 24" wide thrower and just barely squeezed it in my MINI... I didn't have far to go to get it home, so I didn't mind... It was more of a matter of I needed one ASAP (parts of my driveway are somewhat steep, which caused me to slip and fall, ohh, 3 out of the 3 times I shoveled it before I gave up and bought a snowthrower...) then anything...
I bought a Husqvarna 30 incher with 10.5 horsepower. I used to race for Husqvarna back in 69-71, so I knew the quality would be high. My wife also has two Husky sewing machines, one of which has lasted 25 years! Husqvarna is based in Sweden, and make a wide variety of products. The pick-up went smooth as glass. I rented their truck for $20, zipped home with it, and got back well before the deadline. (something like 75 minutes). Bill aka "Cogman"
Ok.. I'll let you slide with a 30" show thrower...
I soon upgraded to the larger one myself (after one day of use, the motor would not re-start on the first one I had) and there was no way that was going to make it into my MINI... I'd brag about what mine is, but I havn't even looked at it since last winter, it's behind the snow tires..
