Well, there’s 15 seconds of my life I’ll never get back. :-)

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!

LOL … I was fully expecting Austin Powers or one of his scantilly clad vixens to be next to it under the bubble.

Suddenly I have an idea for a new car cover.

A cover like that would definitely cut down on rubbing issues. :-)

I like that cover trick.

Hey. Was this a video about a cover or MINI? :D

Love the sound of that 500 AMP breaker tripping when the final rear projection comes on!

Anyone have a longer video of this? It’s fun to see, if only for someone who has never witnessed the revealing of a new car in a general sense.

When does the convertible arrive?

So where’s the part when the hot women in bikini’s walk out and pose for the MINI slivering their bodies all over that sweet paint color?

That one obviously has the LSD option.

I knew the bubble had something under it when I saw the pictures from Paul Sept 30th, thanks for the video, who sent it..paul also?

In the circles you could pick out a face. I also thought well MINI is taking a “bubble boy approach”… hurry up pull that cover away before someone sees through the puff of smoke… Did they have Lance Burton working this show??

At what “second” do you hear the breaker go off? All I hear is “music”.

ReplyReply
bluzeke Oct 4th, 2006 Link

. . at the 11th “cheesy” second. :-)
