Just when you think that you've figured out how MINI's->ke57 mind works, they come out with something that reminds you just how unpredictable these guys are when it comes to their vehicles.

Say you're taking a long road trip and you're eyes are starting to become as heavy as sand bags. The prudent thing to do is to find the nearest inn or just park on the side of the road to catch a brief nap. In the case of the Swindon Roof Top Tent Edition, you can actually do the latter by climbing up to the car's roof-top tent to get some shut eye.

You read that right; this special MINI Cooper model has a tent set-up on where the roof rack was once located.

Unbelievable as that sounds, it's even more ridiculous to think that the tent actually has space for two people with a working ladder that allows you access to the roof of your car and inside your tent. And if that wasn't enough, the roof tent has its own "tent box" that you can use to stow away your tent when you're not using it. Add some pillows, some blankets, and some stuffed teddy bears, and you're all set for nice and relaxing sleep inside your tent.

Then again, we're not naive enough to think that this wasn't just an elaborate - and brilliant - April Fool's Day joke from the German automaker. If it was, then consider us buying it hook, line, and sinker. To be honest, with all of their special edition models, we'd truly believe this would be something they were capable of.
