As this spot promoting the Mini Coupe, created by Amsterdam-based BSUR, shows, it’s always an adventure when you’re out on the road with your Mini. The driver of the vehicle featured in the ad got a little more than he bargained for after extending a courtesy during a long trip through the frozen Icelandic countryside. It just goes to show that picking up a hitchhiker can be eerily similar to playing Russian roulette.
