Minor topiary!

Post by DAVIDMCCULLOUGH »

I saw this being unloaded from a trailer at a rally in Scotland,[frame]Image[/frame]
Its a very detailed frame made out out strips of steel and it was designed to grow topiary hedging around!! As must for every Minor owner whos also into gardening :D :D :D Looking at it in detail it must have been made over the top of a car as its so exact in almost every detail. I thought the hubcaps must have been brand new but with the glasses on they were actually covered in silver foil


Too many Minors so little time.....

There's a full scale topiary mini on the main roundabout by the Longbridge site.

Maybe this is destined for Cowley :lol:

Anyone fancy a paper mache body?

Power to weight would be something else. Prob safe too - you'd dare not crash it!
What would Macgyver do..?

In my experience if you leave a Minor by the side of the road it turns itself into topiary all by it's self. :o

Ducks and runs away.
