I can't believe how small the original Mini's are, let alone that I saw one in Bakersfield. No mistaking it for a Mini, ubersmall and red with a white roof. Thought that was pretty cool.

Why anyone would want a new Mini is beyond me.

Because they're small, peppy, and chock full of character :) not to mention that the price is right.

Last time I was over in Wales (1988), my cousin's friend had a mini. We were whipping down those narrow country roads at high velocity in no time. For that kind of terrain, it's a fine car. :)

An old maroon one speeds around town a lot. Next to the new ones, it seems, well, mini...
