Mini Coopers
Mini Coopers are one of my favorite cars. I ve had three of the later version.not the original. I sat in an original but my knees hit the steering column. My favorite was a Blue supercharged version (that s what the S stands for in the name plate) and it was like driving a Formula 1 car. So much fun that it produced 3 tickets the first year I had it. So it had to go. It had the white stripes down the hood which was BMW s ode to Race Driver John Cooper who raced the early minis to great success and all his race cars had that same stripe on them. Later, I had a Red one that had some mechanical issues but was what I used to teach my daughter how to drive a stick. She actually learned in a VW bug to start with (story another time) This time it went much better and we had a blast. I sold it because I really needed an automatic. The last one I owned was a silver one and was also a non supercharged one. Still fun but no race car. I suspect I will get another one, probably new
