1982 Mini

Here's the perfect way to follow up the post about Linh's Mini. I saw this great looking little Mini in the gravel parking lot at the back of O'Malley's Pub in Weston. I saw it out of the corner of my eye from the road. Not a big fan of the color, some BRG would be much nicer.

Standing beside this car makes you realize how big the New Mini is compared to its forebearers. This was one of those cars that made you feel like you could have picked it up and taken it with you, like when you see a Smart Car today.

My brother went through a phase of grass-track racing Minis in Northern Ireland and for a few years our driveway looked like a Mini graveyard. With mad young fellas like that around, it's a wonder  there are any old Minis left on the road.
This is the perfect cheeky little Mini in this video to go with these images:
