I can't believe you let your 17 y/o daughter drive the Mini! My dad won't even let me sit in his vintage Jag, let alone ride in it. Driving it is out of the question. Aren't you afraid with the steering wheel on the WRONG side that your daughter might not have enough experience to drive such a rare car. I've had many sports cars since I got my license but nothing that is irreplaceable like your Mini. You must be a pretty nice dad to let your daughter drive such a rare piece of European auto history.
