The Mini Challenge.v2

Do you lay awake nights wondering how many Minis fit on the ferry? Wonder no more.

The Guemes Ferry normally carries 19 cars - on a good day with few trucks and SUVs, maybe 21. On Saturday May 8, 29 Mini Coopers all rode across on the same run.

The second Mini Cooper Challenge brought exactly the right number of cars, first to Causland Park and then to Guemes Island!

Tim Wittman, organizer of the event, leads the caravan to Anderson's Store and then on a tour of the island.

So Riddle Me This!

The Mini Cooper measures 142" in length and weighs just 2524 lbs. while the Ford Excursion measures 226" and weighs 7,648 lbs.

So how many Excursions do you think would fit on the Guemes Ferry?

Hint: The New York Times wrote, "At almost 19 feet long and 80 inches wide, [the Excursion] cannot gain entry to many garages and car washes. It hangs out of an ordinary parking space like a fat man in a Speedo."
