MINI Car

Thursday, 7. February 2008, 16:21:33

MINI Spain have teamed up with us to showcase the two name-sharing products: Opera Mini and MINI (with similar punch under the hood as the original MINI Cooper, but with more legroom).

The all-red Opera Mini MINIs will travel in pack formation around Barcelona reminiscent of the famous MINI car scene in the film The Italian Job.

"The reality is that Opera Mini and MINI share more than just a name. The products themselves share many great qualities like being small, fast and fun. I personally look forward to riding around town in one. I hear the MINI Clubman has more legroom, so I actually stand a chance of getting in and out of one!" said Jon (who's 195cm/6'5" tall ) about the partnership.

For those of you not in Barcelona next week, keep a close eye on the Opera Mini team blog, which will be frequently updated with news, pictures and videos from the show.

Man, I love this car! Opera Mini sprites and this MINI just created to be together!

It'll be great to make a great photo session with this car to use in further marketing campaigns, I think...

Good evening -

Have been driving Volkswagens since 1954 but like the idea of the Mini MNI Cooper. We have several convertible Minis in our Maine village.

MyVWs are 2 Campers ('81 and '96 - both fitted with wireless Toshiba laptops w/Opera as the default), a '96 VR6 GTI and a Turbo Beetle convertible. I use Opera Mini on this 'phone - not Toshiba laptops - in the latter 2 cars.

Have fun in Barcelona!

Regards, Douglas - on an unlocked Treo 650 with Mini 4, your best version yet
