A while back NSO asked a good question: Whose car will the Mini be? And the answer sounds socialist, but it won't be either of our cars. We're changing the paradigm.
Rather than my car and AD's car, we're going to have a Near Car and a Far Car. Whoever is driving further that day gets the Mini. Whoever is staying closer to home gets the Hyundai. 
(Unless, like this month, the 4-wheel drive trumps the gas milage.)
(Unless, like this month, the 4-wheel drive trumps the gas milage.) To make it work, I bought two of these seat organizers. I'd seen cops use them back in my reporting days, because they all share cars and can't clutter them up with personal stuff.
The plan is the AD and I will each have one stocked with the stuff we would normally keep in our cars, and each carry it into and out of whatever car we happen to drive on any particular day.
I used mine today and it worked just nice - but I'm sure it'll be better in our Mini!

while it does sound very un-American, it also sounds splendidly practical. I saw a mini today in your colors. very nice. i'm jealous. :)
Great plan! We pretty much do that also: if scott's driving to the vanpool location, he drives the truck. If he's driving all the way to UCLA, he takes the element. But we don't have nifty organizers.
The seat-back organizer people also make shotgun cases, if it's appropriate in either of your circumstances...
It will be fun to keep up on the mini building / shipping process!
I give dave a prize for using "splendidly" with a straight face.
