Saw an article last week about how the original Minis are seeing a
resurgence in popularity. Any of you modern Mini owners ever try some of
those out for comparison?
You mean an actual Mini that is mini in size....
They do not compare to modern cars. They are a classic of that era only.
My first car was a 1962 850cc Mini... with widened 10" rims! So much fun. On
rails until the understeer took over. So little when you see them on the road
now. Wouldn't want to use them as a daily runner now as having an accident in
one against the monsters on the road now wouldn't be good.
The later BMW thing not my cup of tea sorry. They certainly have made some
hideous larger SUV type things as well under the same inappropriate name.
