the mini clubman s 2 860 pound hitch is rated r

Mini, the British brand built atop the idea of British fashionability, has been incredibly style conscious ever since BMW brought it back from the depths of English oppression. Its iconic Cooper still wears a silhouette that harkens back to the original, but offers modern safety equipment and enough room for life-sized humans. You can order the Union Jack placed on virtually any body panel. And those center-mounted speedometers — as much as they put Flava Flav on notice — were a charming touch, if completely useless.

Yet, posh Britons are a fairly easy bunch to embarrass. For example, flatulence is met with mortified exclamations of “My word!” before said flatulator escapes to another room to make tea.

So, with that in mind, how the hell did the Clubman’s tow hitch make it past the censors?

Yup … there it is. Introducing the Clubman: the new compact from Mini that’s incredibly excited to tow your next load. Truck Nutz not included.

This image was pulled directly off the Mini press site. I’m sure from any other angle it looks just peachy. But, what is seen cannot be unseen.

Certainly will cause ankle/shin angst among the "unaware" crowd.

Bosal Hitch, VW even puts a spot to store it in my tool kit. To keep the theme, "Excuse me while I whip this out!"

Colin Car companies have been selling your data to anyone who will buy it. We’ve know that for a while. That’s the reason for lte hotspots, onstar and others. To collect telemetry and sell your information. There are lots of threads now on how to block telemetry uploading. As well as the rash of flock cameras that every little authoritarian municipality is fond buying recently. Don’t worry your information is safe in our databases. But for a fee we can tell you where that person that has a restraining order against you where they are at.
