get st###ed thats not a bl###y mini. These are concraptions built by BMW or some other flea brained dip stick. There were days when a mini was a REAL Morris/ Austin Mini

I kinda like the wagon.... looks less poofy than the convertible, there is no way for a man to drive the convertible mini and not look gay
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I always thought that the BWM Mini was a very good interpretation of what the Issigonis Mini would be in the modern day.
This wine club thing I think is a pretty useful interpretation introducing a new idea that wasn't there before

yeh but the market for that sort of thing wants electric windows. I mean look at the new Beetle which has missed everything that the original was good at kept something like the old shape and made an absolute dud!
How dumb was it to make a beetle shape with a front engine?
The old Mini would not get past modern laws not enough crash protection and it's aerodynamics wouldn't fly in the modern market either. I think the Spirit has been preserved fairly well the new one is a quickish fun car. Something like the original we won't see again imagine 850cc and it is a real hot rod! What's more you could get a family in it! Remarkable! BUT families are driving landcruisers these days times have changed a lot. I wonder if a stripped BMW mini would be fun, chuck the carpet sound deadening pull the window up with a leather strap strip the seats back to a fiberglass shell with a bugger all cover. I wonder how fast that would go?

We used to put a rubber glove on the mini dizzy to keep the water out. Our biggest hassle was the starter. If it stopped in one spot, we had to put a spanner on it and give it a nudge.
The seatposts rusted through the floor. Suspension consisted of a rubber block.
Memorable car.
