Mini's rock!
No they don't, they bounce along at about 45-50mph with the driver clinging to the wheel for grim death, with a fixed glazed stare on their face.
Well, that's my experience of passing them on the motorway anyway.
No way! Ok, well some of them... I've had 3 now - an '82 1275gt on webbers, an '89 limited edition Mini 30 original factory spec, and also a little 1.0 mini city project destined for a vTech conversion but never QUITE made it...
My brothers got an orange mini with a metro engine & it FLIES. Handles like a dream, sticks like a sticky thing to something else sticky round the bends

soon to be turboooooooo'd
