Sew/like I say/you-know, seems to be the modern way to start things.
I'm 75 and although I have driven other cars, I have always owned some sort of mini for well over 50 years.
My favourite? Probably a "breathed-on" 848 mini pickup; it would touch 90, was beautifully set up and on Goodyear grand-prix's, it went every where flat out, sorting it out in the corners and "left foot braking" through them in the wet.
Oh, happy days, no speed cameras and at that speed, police cars loomed up in front, not in the mirror.
Eventually I dropped in a 997 with 544 cam:- It ruined it:- I had to keep lifting off !
