Red Bull offloaded them, there's a dealer near me that had three on the lot for a while which were repainted and had the cans removed. I'm not 100% certain they were old Red Bull cars, but I can't think of a whole lot of other reasons to make a MINI pickup.

Aside from various one off advertising cars and cars built by people of dubious aesthetic judgement, the strangest I've seen on the road is this - I will tell you that it is a 1937 model - can you come up with what it is?
I've always been curious about the Red Bull Minis, or more specifically the business model behind them.
What I've found is that they have an externally accessible fridge in the back, below the can. The can is an empty prop (I thought it would be cool if the can was a fridge or a giant keg of Red Bull or something ). They were always owned by young women who were authorized to give out free samples.

Yeah that was the idea I think. There are a couple locally to me still. And always driven by cute college age ladies.
