This morning I learned I can fit 24 latex balloons with the back seat down and the passenger seat all the way forward AND I think there was room for maybe 4-5 more.



What's your packing feat of accomplishment?

You can fit a HP 8150 workgroup printer in the back.  My other IT guy's Civic wouldn't fit in the trunk or back seat.  Folded down my rear seats, printer in, and we both went to the jobsite to install.

My Bosch 5312 12" mitre saw and misc tools fit fine as well.  People at the job party said I need a truck and I said what for?

As a courier, I am going to have to start submitting pics of what I have been able to fit inside my R56S. It's like a game of tetris, and the people I work for like to give me all the big orders. Here was one of my larger delivery's.

I put a 50 Gallon gas water heater, in it's box, inside and closed hatch.  You should have seen the look on the guys face at the hardware store where I purchased it. 

The other large item was my roll-a-round tool box; top in passenger footwell and the bottom in the back.  I picked it up at a UPS loading dock and the guy said "Drive your truck around to the dock".  So when I showed up in the MINI he started to laugh, which stopped when I closed the hatch on it all.


I wish there was a local MINI Dealership, like our Honda, Subaru, Mazada and VW.

I don't have any pics, but being in the military, i can fit, 2 duffle full bags, an overpacked rucksack, a backpack with my crew chief gear, my body armor and a 1.2 cu. ft. box with my 10" sub. All with only the back seat folded down. :)

Car load of camping stuff plus a french horn. I only folded down one back seat for that. 

One that gets the most attention is when I say a BOB jogging stroller with the back seats in use.
