… So it’s not a real MINI – unlike the one used in the memorable scene in the movie Austin Powers – Goldmember, where a MINI Cooper resplendent in a Union Jack paint job is driven into the ocean (!)

You’re all wrong so far. This is the new America’s Cup yacht design to be sailed off Valencia in 2009. Cup Holders syndicate Allinghi have surprised challengers Larry Ellison’s Oracle BMW team and Emirates Team New Zealand with this stunning new design. Allinghi Boss Alberto Bertarelli said ” We wanted to make yacht racing more like a Formula 1 car racing event”.

It looks like it could be the same life-sized plastic Mini they had on the DJ stand at Mini United?

Although I wasn't at MINI United I know I had seen one of these plastic MINI's at my local dealership in Orlando quite a few weeks back.....that thing was completely realistic looking!!! Great job to the person who carved this thing out to make a boat!!!!

It’s been said before: If you think you’re perfect, you try walking on water!

Looking closely, given the window proportions, it looks like it’s not a MINI converted to be a boat, but rather a boat converted to look like a MINI. Which is fabulous none the less. Ha!
