<p>“Jumping the shark” here??</p>
<p>see this is why i love these guys…. what other car company would think of something like this… ok not everyone goes on picnics but its the thought that counts</p>
<p>Ian…</p>
<p>WTFDTM? Huh?</p>
<p>…RB</p>
<p>nice reference Ian….LOL</p>
<p>I think MINI knee-high socks would be more of a “jumping the shark” type of moment :)</p>
<p>BTW – here's more on “<a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=jump+the+shark&f=1">jumping the shark</a>“.</p>
<p>OK, PICTURE THIS-YOU'RE ON A ROAD RALLY TO SOMEWHERE SAY A WINERY IN MISSOURI YOU PULL OUT THIS MINI PICNIC SET VERY COOL AND HANDY??</p>
<p>RB, this is just one interpretation :)</p>
<p>jump the shark: include an excessive scene or a variation of the plot pointing out that the long-running television show has been determined as declining.</p>
<p>Hope this helps :)</p>
<p>Nice picnic set by the way.</p>
<p>Is there also a handy dandy carrying case to store neatly within the Boot, let alone carry to your final resting destination? :o)</p>
<p>Now this is getting out of control!
Just kidding, I think this goes more with the release of the Open.
It's obviously out of season.</p>
<p>Anyhow, trying to squeeze every penny out of us they can eh? hahahah</p>
<p>Looks nice to me!</p>
<p>wonder if it comes with ant repellant</p>
<p>Thanx Volcan…say Hi to your pointy eared brother.</p>
<p>I thought I had watched all the Happy Days when my kids were growing up but I guess I missed that one.</p>
<p>Still not sure what Ian's reference meant…is it the meant too say it's the startt of the end?</p>
<p>Also, having worked in the industry I guess I missed that bit of slang.</p>
<p>Would that be vin de la maison de la misère? I didn't know there were wineries in Missouri.</p>
<p>…RB</p>
<p>RB–OH YES THERE ARE MANY SMALL WINERIES IN MISSOURI THEY ARE NOT AS BIG AS A WINERY THAT WOULD BE IN ENGLAND OR CALIFORNIA BUT I DO LIKE THE PICNIC SET</p>
<p>“see this is why i love these guys…. what other car company would think of something like this… ok not everyone goes on picnics but its the thought that counts”</p>
<p>Aww cmon you think mini was the first people to think of the picnic? everyone knows the P(icnic) T(able) Cruiser has picnics all catered for, and was even named accordingly!</p>
<p>Offering us a lame MINI picnic set does not make me think the MINI itself has begun a downhill slide, it make me think that the marketing department views us as a being as stupid as the pre-teen girls who are thrilled at each now Barbie and Ken “ensemble” of clothing and accessories. Who could take anyone with a MINI picnic set seriously?</p>
<p>I think I will buy a set for my girl when she picks up her new Pink Cabrio.</p>
<p>Robert:</p>
<p>You mean we're not? </p>
<p>OOoh, look, an armrest!</p>
<p>Don't laugh. I own a classic VW…. you wouldn't believe how much accessories just like this from that line (usually for the VW Bus of course) go for nowdays. </p>
<p>Buy one now… put it in a box and viola.. instant inheritance for the grandkids.</p>
<p>I think it's pretty dang sweet, although I don't really see how it's MINI. They need to take it back to the design the department and make it resemble parts of the MINI or something. I would definitely get it if it screams MINI.</p>
<p>modern design, but I'll stick with my $20 set from Target… Tho I love nice picnics at park. Nothing like a bottle of wine (concealed because the USSA is ultra conservative), cheese and the company of a nice lady :-)</p>
<p>They better not let prospective US buyers see this kit… they're supposed to be marketing with testosterone in an attempt to reduce the “chick car” factor on the convertible!</p>
<p>Um… I think I had this exact same plate, cup and silverware the last time I took an over-sea flight.</p>
<p>Design by Sky-Chefs. Marketing by MINI.</p>
<p>They have wineries in England???</p>
<p>…RB</p>
<p>The set is listed on the german MINI site. It comes with a (coffee colored) storage bag (which can be used as cushions), includes 2 trays (not shown in piccie above) and retails for 199 Euro ~ 240 $.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>
<p>The U.S. version will naturally consist of styrofoam plates and plastic cups and forks. Don't forget the paper napkins!</p>
<p>$240 dollars, eh? Think I'll just nick a set on my next United Airlines flight – that way the flight is free!</p>
<p>I've found that Coleman makes a 'mini' picnic set. It includes: cutlery, cutting board, placemats and more are all held in a sturdy polyester canvas tote. Tote measures: 9 1/4″x 2″ high.
(no plates or cups from what I saw). Sells for around $15.</p>
