Weekenders, I know we don't always see eye-to-eye, but I have to say that I feel your pain and share your grief. She was truly a seminal force in American musi . . er . . entertainment.
But cheer up, little buckeroo. We can always look forward to the Spice Girls reunion tour.

I'm sure I read about 25 years ago that minis weren't allowed in the US because they were several inches too short (shut up, dear, SHUT UP!)...Tyler Morris wrote:You poor, poor thing!

They're legal now baby! I think it's a state-to-state thing, but most states allow you to import them and drive them as daily drivers.SteveShaw wrote:I'm sure I read about 25 years ago that minis weren't allowed in the US because they were several inches too short (shut up, dear, SHUT UP!)...Tyler Morris wrote:You poor, poor thing!

The old ones are much nicer than those squat, ugly new BMW-Mini hybrids. For your second car you should get a Morris Minor. Now there was a car...

If I understand it correctly, the mini cars were the very first hybrids. When you are going uphill, you ready need to start the engine. However, when the road is fairly level, the pedals seem to work quite nicely. Right?Tyler Morris wrote:You poor, poor thing!

A soon as I'm done fiddlin' around with this one (and as soon as my daughter gets out o' the child-seat), my wife wants either a Mini Traveller woodie or a Morris Minor.
Either way, I'm going to 'v-tech' her's so it's a bit more reliable. MiniMainia.com sells oodles and oodles of parts for both. Thats where I got my parts for my '64.
I agree with ya there, the new ones aren't nearly as classy! There's more room in the classic Mini too! CHeck out my interior pictures on the "beating the gas pinch" thread.

You callous Basmatis. Weekenders is sitting there in the corner sobbing uncontrollably in an advanced stage of madonna withdrawal, and you guys are prattling on about cars.
Talk about your male insensitivity.

No, that's what we tell our wives and girlfriends we're talking about. What we're really talking about is how big those . . . . oh-oh . . . . wife alert . . .jsluder wrote: . . . talk about cars or sports . .
Hey, guys. How about that 1960 Dodge Phoenix. It had some big ones. Fins, I mean.
