From the video it looks like you have to work out how many footballs are in the car, hopefully these links should help.
http://www.kgbanswers.co.uk/how-many-footballs-can-you-fit-in-a-mini-cooper-car/15485449How many footballs can you fit in a mini cooper car?
Here's a sample calculation to estimate the number of footballs that can be fit into a cooper mini (assuming a free space Mini Cooper)
Get the volume of the car:
The classic Mini body dimensions are: L=3.05m; W=1.41m; H=1.35m
V = L x W x H
(3.05m)(1.41m)(1.35m) = 5.805675m³ (5805675cm³)
Get the volume of the football:
The diameter of a size 5 football is roughly 22 cm.
Get the radius of the football: 11 cm
V = 4/3 x pi x radius cubed
4/3 x pi x 11 cm cubed
= 5575.280cm³
Divide the volume of the car by the volume of the ball:
5805675cm³ / 5575.280cm³
= 1041 b@lls

Hehe. I'm sure Panda Pop used to be an entirely different product. Not a great association. I wonder if Fiat are aware of that.0

Simply watch the video, guess how many balls are in the car and, if you are right, ArnoldClark.com could be handing you the keys to this fantastic Fiat Panda Pop!

Based on the calculation above, I get 1912, however please note this is based on an empty car (ie no seats, etc) and the height doesn't take into account the empty space below the car, so you would have to go for a lower estimate than this. Please also bear in mind my maths isn't great so you might want to double check the calculation.“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” - Dr Seuss0

A quick look at any of the images reveals that many of the balls are not full size.
8 half sized balls have the same volume as a single full sized ball.0 -
From Fiats website, the boot alone is 870 litres, which would fit 157 balls at 5.57528 litres each. to give you a rough idea to how many the car would hold in total.0

Unless I'm reading the t&cs wrong, the winner will have to collect from an Arnold Clark dealer and these appear to be based in the north of the UK. I live in Devon and my nearest dealer is 135 miles away. Oh well, it was a nice idea while it lasted...0

For a car worth about £9,000 I think I would travel a few hours :-)Unless I'm reading the t&cs wrong, the winner will have to collect from an Arnold Clark dealer and these appear to be based in the north of the UK.

Even on a quick sale you would surely get £6000 for it.So for a days messing about that is not too bad.

135 miles? That's nothing to collect a brand new car!Unless I'm reading the t&cs wrong, the winner will have to collect from an Arnold Clark dealer and these appear to be based in the north of the UK.

Anyone know where I can borrow a couple of thousand footballs from to get an accurate "guess"?
(I'm not serious). Good luck all
£1322. You don't need to know what this is about.0
