Many years ago I had a classic 1977 Mini 1000, light green in color, with a tan interior, leather Jaguar steering-wheel and sports wheels.

I bought it as a used car.

Top speed was alright at first, but when I put in Slick-50, me and my little rascal were always the fastest at stoplight-sprints.

But as you may know, these fun cars were from the British Leyland period, when, how can I put it, quality was not their main goal.

After having put bull-bars in the front and in the back, I quickly found out that it was quite impossible to keep it in good condition as sheet metal was very bad.

I had to sell it to a couple of friends of mine, who were quite handy with the big Mustangs from the 1970's .

After a while I asked them how the Mini was....

They told me that had never worked on a worse car than my Mini. Tears

Here is picture of a Mini just like mine....

I always loved the single speedometer in the middle of the dashboard.

it was about the cheapest car I ever owned, but men, how I loved it.....so much fun...
