Mini weight

GroovyCarrot · Post by **GroovyCarrot** » Tue May 10, 2005 6:55 pm

Anyone have any idea what an old mini would weigh without an engine, running gear etc, stripped out as far as I can take it? Ie, bare shell? I know it's an odd question.. just a little mission I'm on

lol lets just say two people would be able to pick it up quite easily

Lovely... do you think two people would be able to carry it up a flight of stairs, is the next thing

I'd say about as much as a "wet fag packet"

Not sure on the metric conversion of that though

But if you are planning a bedroom rebuild - I'd be carefull about the weight when it's all bolted back together - although they do drive down stairs quite well

You could turn it into a bed quite easily!

hahahahaha

well VW beetles are supposedly doable with a team of 4, so you might be able to get away with 2 for a mini (4 sweaty builders allegedly being able to pick up a road-ready one).

the floor should take it, think of the combined weight of all the other crap a bedroom floor takes...... might wanna remove a few of the heavier items first though just to be sure. (the bed, for starters)

maybe you should see if you can rebuild it on the roof of the polo

(it's pretty tough - i know it's stronger than the ashtrays one, thats for sure)

Nah, I'm thinking sixth form common room.. the leaving year has a fine tradition of leaving some random mark on the common room, and I think a mini would be pretty cool

no chance of us doing that to my old common room, probably couldn't get a mini moto down the stairs at my old skool!

Mm, that's the problem, space is very tight.. got to get the caretakers permission as well, which is awkward because he's a moody bugger and I think he may have something to say about the mess. Still, I'll work on it.. it'd be great if we could pull it off

well, sod it - you're not going back, are you? i'm sure even a grumpy arse such as that will get a smile out of it even if only on the inside...

he may just leave it as a "feature"

do it do it do it do it.... (etc)

did you see the metro today, by the way?
