Yeah, I saw an article in which someone made a cardboard replica of a real mini and successfully reconstructed it completely inside the so-called mini. I think spiritually, Ford would have been a better choice that BMW, but even then...SUV. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

My good friend has two original Mini Coopers that he stores over winter in my garage along with my 914s and a friends 911. All the Porsches look like SUVs when placed next to the original Mini.
If you ever get a chance to drive an original 1275s Mini, do it! They're an absolute blast. Same thing with a Lotus 7 or one of the clones. |

I was driving my 914 one day and a new Mini pulled up next to me at a light. I looked over and realized I was eye level to his door handle.

We have a Clubman and it's higher and heavier. But the length is within a couple of inches and it's narrower than the x19. And not as much fun to drive as the x19
