Always loved the Mini look and character. I wanted a small cheap car for my rare driving that i could have fun with and work on with Dad. He currently has 3 himself and has owned many in his life.
This also means i get free labour and parts (mostly) from his knowledge and spares.
They are fun to drive and handle great. And everyone always has a smile when they see one.

Dislikes:
|
Needs a more powerful engine. Starts to have trouble when doing over 100kmph.
Tend to also be a bit noisy inside due to lack of padding and wind getting in at high speeds.

Great car, have always loved them and they are great to modify.
