Ha ha :-)
First things first, the Mini has all the fun and grunt of the classic Mini of yore and now comes with a little more build quality thanks to our German friends. So don't worry! Once you get moving in your Mini you won't care who built it
There's nothing like driving a Mini! My favorite bit is being flat out, feeling every part of the road and listening to the sound coming out of the back... Saab's a nice car , but the Mini's a whole different world altogether!!
Enjoy it - and customize it with something funky - whoever heard of a funky BMW?
PS - I drive a 3 series too
