What the fasination is? Well if you live in Europe it comes apparnt right away, its small, nippy, corners like mad and goes pretty quick aswell, perfect for the European Urban Jungle :) The car has been a sucsess from the 60s on to its replacement 2 years ago, and the new Mini (basically a BMW) is continueng to build on the sucses. Mini, often copied, never matched ;) And Dudley, as a car nut I have to say, I love your work, keep it up. Axe
