Gonna need an airbag suspension in the MINI, then, to get that 6" clearance needed, and still have that sweet lowered ride.  An interesting idea, though.

Can they make it so I can drive on water too?  Or how about a picker on roof that pulls me out through the sun roof so I don't need to exert the effort to turn sideways to get out like with those invisible doors.

I just spoke to Q, and he tells me that they are already in development for the sun roof access.  They have encountered a snag, though, and the air powered system is proving to be a little more powerful than anticipated.  The ejection system, errr, sun roof cabin access system, should be operational by mid-2008, though.  In the meantime, maybe you need one of these umbrellas that doubles as a submachine gun?
