I have already discounted the Mini due to potential issues and price.
They are popular and the prices reflect that.

I never understood the draw of those cars until I drove that one.
It was the turbo John Cooper work version and it was truly fun to drive even around here where the roads are not.
It is just the bench mark I keep coming back to when we have been looking at other roadsters as far as "fun" or engaging.

Cool TVR BTW.
