    @Fat Tire: Yeah!

    And if it's a Guinness can, it should periodically go "pssst", like air-brakes.

    Not because it makes one fahrtey, but rather, because of the foam-making device.

    While i disagree with 4 out of the 5 suggested,i find it laughable that whoever compiled this joke of a list isn't even slightly aware of the 1275 GT,as if the were aware of it then it would be on the list

    Odd list,clearly the moke shouldn't be on it at all. The original Mini was a good car in its day,the new Mini's are just shit & living off the back of the original & new Mini are generally bought by estate agents or people that have no clue about cars but think they're cool. I see nothing to celebrate here.

    @layabout: I have no problem with someone decrying the supposition that there's a real link between the original Mini and the new Mini-- I agree that they've got little to do with each other. I'll even agree that the new doesn't measure up to the old.

    But the new Mini is, on its own merits, a good car. The estate agents may just be getting lucky (first and second gen Miatas were bought by the boatload by people who had no clue about cars), but the new Mini is a better car than you're pretending.

    @area_educator: After looking a bit more at initial quality information, I rescind a good deal of that.

    They're good cars when they're not falling apart.

    @area_educator: Dont get me wrong, i dont hate the new Mini,it is a good car but to me the original is superior & has a shed load of racing history. Sadly (in the U.K. anyway) most new Mini owners buy them to be "cool" not because they're good cars to drive
