Park Inn Heathrow Has Some Pretty Fly Wheels

Where: Bath Road, Heathrow Middlesex, United Kingdom, UB7 0DU

Ha. This car is funny.

This bad boy belongs to Park Inn Heathrow, and it was snapped by recent guest Michael Coleman who says, "Hotel seemed to have a small fleet of minis - don't know why. Seem a bit impractical if people have luggage?"

Hmm, yeah. Kinda. We're not so sure what they use these little buggers for, though — the hotel's website specifically mentions guests should take the "Hoppa bus to and from the airport" (oh, and "with reasonable charges") — and when we called the hotel rezzie line, we were told that guests can't rent these out. So we're not sure whether they're just an eye-catching advertisement for the property — but, either way, they certainly did catch our eye. How stylin'. Sorta reminds us of some pants we saw one of the dudes from Milli Vanilli wearing once.
