Old car died, new car... MINI !!!!!

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

Mine has the full moon-roof but it has retractable ceiling shades. The inside stays pretty cool I would say. It is cooler than my civic anyway...

Did you get rid of that lovely Civic I had the pleasure of riding in?

 

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

Nope, Civic is still an awesome car! That is what I am hoping this MINI will be. Feed it oil, and be nice to it and it costs almost nothing to own. That car has been the best. We are getting rid of our old '95 suburban because we don't want to fix the exhaust and it is killing us slowly with its song.

I managed to find footage on youtube from my days as a Mini-driving gnome.

Song?

Would this be the equivalent of BB's in the muffler rattling at idle?

If this guy can fit into one anyone can.

Killing us softly with his song??? no one??? Just a song reference don't know why it popped in my head.

The 'burban's exhaust corroded and separated from the engine block. It is now dumping all the exhaust straight into the cabin.

Roberta Flack, easy. Or The Fugees, if you want to be more current.

Exactly. As I said before, I am 6'3" (Pretty big for a gnome) My mini was not uncomfortable.

Ahhhh. I knew the reference but thought you had a similar issue as mine.

So, the lesson here is that when driving your Cooper off of the sidewalk. Shift the weight to the tail so it won't nosedive.

I learned by that mistake. Since that video was made I always kept a dead hooker in the trunk for ballast. Those cars can hold more than you think!

That was YOU! I saw that car once. Thought it was a blow up doll in the back, she had that look of surprise on her face.
