I miss my Mini

[growler_south]

I miss my Mini, the cutest little van in the world. But now I have a garage/workshop, need a car, and I know where it's hiding... Hmmm.

Hey Erich, how would you feel about driving something that would fit in the bed of your pickup?

!!!!!

Global car of the century runner up after the Model T? 5.5 million sold over its 40-year lifespan? Won the Monte Carlo 3 times? The original that BMW thing attempts to mimick?

*head explodes*

Hasn't been sold in that form in the US for longer than I've been alive. A little slack for the non-car-nuts among us.

A friend's father has done the One Lap in an original Mini. He's probably 6'5", and at least 300lbs. You'll probably fit.

Okay, it's not exactly stock; the seats certainly aren't. But ya doesn't have to go racing in one...

LOL! fair enough, though Van knows I'm just yankin his chain (*sigh* I wish...)

Though sometimes I feel sorry for you who have never enjoyed the handling of a Mini. Come to NZ, I'll make sure you get some good old-fashioned handling... ;-)

That plan, while presently tabled, is not cancelled. :)
