Reminds me of the time I bought my P850. I went to the

office (which, luckilly was just round the corner from teh place where
I'd bought the P850) and said "I'd like a taxi with a boot large enough
to put a mini in, please". The look was priceless...
[Note the non-UK people here, a Mini is a model of small-ish car, but
still much larger than the boot (trunk) of any normal car]
In the mid 1970s, some American vans were large enough to carry a
Mini-Cooper or a Honda N600.
Not sure, but wouldn't the "van" ("staion wagon" in American)
model hold
one rack if you let it hang out the back?
The "new" Mini, made by BMW, just can not compare with the real thing.
I was able to carry FIVE DTC-300s (Diable HiType I stand printer) with a
Honda Civic. (I had some rope).
