Haven't seen the spot, Dave, but - LONG LIVE THE MINI (even though Rover
finally stopped making it in 2000 after a 41-year model run!!) I've had
mine since '86 - spent countless hundreds of dollars on it - and still
love to race it whenever I can. That is, when it's not broken like it
is now! 8<{(
The BMW-designed and -built New MINI is quite a piece of work. And I'd
love to get my hands on a new Cooper-S. But the traditional Mini is
still THE car to have. They say you can't drive one fast without
smiling. I'm here to attest to that!!! 8<{)
