More and more we’re seeing home grown modifications to the Mini Cooper — but this one is the ultimate. “Colin Mayhew” has converted a Mini Cooper r50 into a robot that closely resembles one of those characters from the 80s cartoon, Transformers. The documentation sounds legit to a layman, but this is clearly a hoax — possibly created by Mini themselves. Mini’s marketing strategies have been pretty genius thus far, but this is new territory. Can they harness the viral nature of the Web? I guess we’re helping, aren’t we?
