Mini, by which I mean a proper one not the insult that BMW stuck under the badges!!!
I still get a stupid grin on my face when ever I drive one, it doesn't matter if it's my misses' near stock MPi, my turbo or 1380 or a classic old mk1 with a 33bhp 850 under the bonnet ..... still the most smiles per pound in any front wheel drive car. When I bought my pickup (now mid resto) I drove it around like loon in the yard I collected it from until it ran out of fuel ..... like a kid in a sweet shop ... lol
Take somebody with you who knows about them though as there are some major pitfalls (and bodges to cover them up) with Mini's.
There is, never has been nor ever will be a better small car to have fun with than a classic Mini, I was totting it up at a club meeting a week or so back ..... I think I have had more than 50 of th little beggers!!!
