Have to get this off my chest!
I have decided that it’s good being one of the first owners of a MINI. I don’t think there is a better time to own one than now. Yes we have / are having niggles with our cars but there are a lot of plus sides also. Like reading very good reviews in nearly every motoring magazine about this fantastic car and looking out of the window and seeing ours parked outside (warm glow feeling). Like watching rave reviews on the cars driving experience and handling and then taking ours out on the road and finding their right!
Like being on a motorway or a car park or …… ANYWHERE and attracting more attention than a Porsche or Ferrari!
In a year or two’s time, when there are loads of MINI’s on the roads (and believe me, there will be!), owners will not get quite the same experience as we who own them now.
I have never owned a car that gives me so much pleasure all of the time. I am a hardened motorcyclist and I am used to the pleasure a large sports bike can give, but I never believed a car could match it!
Rant over.
