<p>GAK! It’s goofy!</p>
<p>I was there this morning. You can have a look at my pictures here: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=295250&id=575366949&l=64bc9e61b0" rel="nofollow ugc">http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=295250&id=575366949&l=64bc9e61b0</a></p>
<p>New alloy wheels at 3:45? They look awesome!</p>
<p>See Evo is reporting the RocketMan at 94Mpg, I am sure that is imperial gallons but honestly still massively impressive.</p>

<p>Is it just me or is the aspect ratio off in this video?</p>
<p>man that countryman SD looks pretty damn hot!</p>
<p>There’s a banner ad hovering over the video (for “First 5”) that won’t go away.</p>
<p>Thanks Gabe.</p>
<p>It didn’t feel that small from the pictures. I’ll have to see for myself when I get there…</p>
<p>@Bridget_J cool pics. The cooper with the JCW looks sick!</p>
<p>so, it’s an automatic transmission?</p>
<p>The aspect ratio of this video is off and it’s misrepresenting the proportions of the car. Can you fix that, Gabe?</p>
<p>The video assets are from BMW. No time to alter them.</p>
<p>seems like a lot of videos from them come with wrong aspect ratios. it really does misrepresent the size/shape of the car.</p>
<p>I think that may be my dream car at the end.</p>
<p>The Hampton Clubman SD. Too bad it won’t make it here…</p>
<p>Better (though different) vid here with correct aspect:</p>

<p>The packaging would help transport through the VDC and on the ship via W&W. ;)</p>

<p>Fixed.</p>
<p>The “packaging” unveil is as badass as the car itself. I love it. Hope this comes stateside. When I get all the kids off to college, this will be mine, all mine.</p>
<p>Still crashing silence about the drive train for the Rocketman. ?????</p>

<p>There’s nothing under the hood. However you can imagine a 1.5L three cylinder fitting well.</p>
<p>As Always..GO MINI!!</p>
