Last summer I was driving on I-25 in Northern Colorado next to the Wienermobile in heavy bumper to bumper traffic going about 20-35mph for several miles. The girl driving almost ran it off the road twice and in coming back off the shoulder almost took out a line of cars. It appears the driver has just about no visibility in that thing. It also appears to have very crappy brakes.

Maybe these are mechanical failures. Possibly improper fluid levels or load ratings?

Minis have more than adequate brakes.But the chassis is not designed to have the higher C of G
caused by fitting the sausage superstructure.

Solution- stiffer springs to support a carbon fiber wiener.
