Oh, Ian, for a while there you were spewing such heartfelt and rational prose.
And then you went and spoilt it with your stated asperation for a Mini Cooper.
My Gawd, Lad, what do you wanna go down that path for?
As you are a naive young man I am compelled to warn you that owner's of Mini
Coopers will never procreate or, at most, have little chance of offspring smart
enough to wash a windscreen and scratch at the same time.
If you ever have asperations of a sexual nature which could involve someone in
addition to yourself, you must never admit ownership of an Austin Mini (Cooper
or non). For a mini-driver, the only possible relationship that could lead to
coitus would have to be prefaced with some large monetary exchange and/or a
debilitating amount of mind-numbing beverages.
Careful, Lad, or your gene pool will go septic.
