| Ah that takes me back ... my 1100 Clubman had similar performance downhill with a tailwind and an empty tank. Minis are such great fun to drive. I always wanted a 1275GT but never got round to it ... |

That's what the wife and kids are for, pushing your impractical tiny car out of spaces.

twin-engine a waste of money: even on that track the tester didn't get the cams on song and still the power was destroying the handling. Amazing sound of twin in-line fours almost worth it
