Can you guess what it is yet?

(Even though I am no longer able to fit in a mini let alone drive one, I still have a soft spot for them!!)

Especially at 80 over hump back bridges... or screaming past you on the M1

I would have another mini... if I had the space (a 1972 1275 Cooper S, no less) , but I dont think I can afford a large lockup yet.

Looking at that one, I could possibly give up the celica, but I'd need something else for the longer journeys
