They are fun to drive, attract a lot of attention, quick, reasonably well built, practical, lets not forget the "Pulling the birds" factor.
After all we can't all drive a BMW

gang$tarr · 10-13-2001, 06:41 PM

but they're soo small
LOL they look like i could accidentally step on one of them

they don't look very comfortable either

and if you drive a new mini than that is a bmw

Jimster · 10-13-2001, 07:14 PM

they are as a matetr of fact very comfortable, according to my Mother (Shes 6"2 and owned one in the 80's) and I like the way that they are so small, even if a Ford Excursion could make it into a pancake, but thats OK because the Excursion is not available here, 4WD's don't get much bigger than an Explorer

6'2''

holy shit!

that's one tall lady

Chris · 10-13-2001, 07:46 PM

I have read an article by someone who is 6'5, and he found it good, but not much head room left, and the steering wheel rubbed his leg. So get a nice momo, that would fix that. (He also found it the most fun thing he has ever driven, better than BMW's, porsches, and a few Italian cars that end it i)
Lets not forget that they won the Monte Carlo rally outright 3 (three!) times, beating cars with much more power.
I also like the 'smallness', it lets you drive it as if it were an extension of yourself, like a third hand.

I have an official picture of what goes into a mini, I will post it later. Its 5 people with luggage

I want this to be my first car, if I can find one for a reasonable price!

Hey Jimmy

I reckon you should add an original Audi Quattro Coupe to your collection
as I see you have basically nothing in the way of 4WD cars
:smoker2:

Chris · 10-13-2001, 08:17 PM

Aren't those kinda pricy, but awesome. If you had Audi 5000's over there, they might be a good price, after the 'unintended acceleration' garbage in the 80's.

Some overweight dumbasses forget what was the brake and what was the gas, so they blamed it on Audi. Geez
