I was out cruising in my '71 VW Bus when I was flagged down by a guy in a '50-something Mini. We checked out each other's rides, and ever since then I've been in love with these things! Driving them is a blast... racing with people on the interstate is even better... especially when there are curves involved! The look you get when you get to the next light after roasting your tires through 1st and 2nd is pretty nice too... The Mini may look small and be deemed a "waste of money" but until you actually drive it (if the owner will ever let you) the amount of fun to be had is unmatched.

My experience with my Mini is both a love affair and fun to drive. Not for a long time do I find myself missing driving a car if not for a few days. My Mini is like a family member. It has personality, charm, and people love to admire it.

The cordoba leather seats, steering wheel and climate control not only add style, they add comfort. Mine came with 17" Antera wheels and Michelin 215/40 tires, making its handling unbelievable. I don't understand the people who say the car does not have enough power. If you know how to drive 4 cylinder with a stick shift, there is more than adequate power. And don't buy it on a whim...do your research. It's a MINI, not a BMW or a Porsche! Motoring on...
