[Spridgets] New Mini Cooper

[Mike MacLean]

When the Mini first came out I went to look at them to possibly buy one.B  When I told the salesman I was going to use it to commute to work he told me that people were buying them and showing up with flatbed trucks to haul them home. He said they did not want to put any miles on them.B  He was actually horrified by the idea I was going to use my car every day and refused to sell one to me.B  What the heck?B  It's just a retro version of a Mini, isn't it?B  After that I never wanted one.B  Friends that own them tell me of the frequent expensive repairs.B  I'll stick with my Honda.
