There's really no comparison between the new Mini and the old Cooper cars. My roommate in college had a 1968 1275cc Cooper S bored to 1450cc that was very fast, light and handled very well but made few of the compromises the new Coopers make to comfort, noise and etc. There is a story we still tell each other about a trip from Geneva to Ithaca in that car that involved some changes in short-term memory.

I had a Norton Atlas and we used to road race around the Finger Lakes and really annoyed the federales in Penn Yan and Aurora.

Hey, I'm a Lesbian in a Man's body so I guess that works.

I don't care what people say about cars. I like 'em many and varied. Hell look at the Pink Pig. Man's car if ever I saw one.

Hmmm... Two cars from swedish manufacturers on that list, and we are only a 9 million people country. Right now it seems a very gay light is shining on Sweden

Any country that doesn’t manufacture a pick up truck with a big honking V8 has to be gay….just kidding (the pick up thing might just be a form of over compensation)!
