I had a friend in high school, circa 1980, whose family collected Mini Coopers long before they were as available in the USA as they are now.

I think they had three, and my friend was always driving a different one to school.

Funny thing was, he was a 6 foot 4, 130 pound string bean of a dude, as was his dad, and it was entertaining to watch them unfold themselves from those little cars.

One of their cars had a bumper sticker that said, 'I Think Your Car Looks Funny Too.'

I used to know a guy that raced the old Minis. He had to be 350 lbs at minimum. In that car, he was a rocket. It is amazing to see a car pivot on one front wheel that is not turning.

He would take the car hard into a turn and make a right angle and blast right out of it.
