Driving it
What's it like to drive?
The classic mini is absolutely amazing to drive it is very nippy around town and when it comes to the handling you can see why it won the Monte Carlo rally, it is like driving on rails I can out handle any modern car in my mini. the mini also has a nice noise when you accelerate away. I have driven a fake bmw mini and a lot of people who own them and also bmw mini them self say it handles like a go kart and all of this rubbish but I can say it is not as fun to drive and it doesn't come anywhere close to the classic Mini when it comes down to handling.
What's it like to park?
Very easy the car has brilliant all round visibility.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
At the end of the day I don't have expectations as it is now 24 years old. so far all I have had to replace is the radiator as it has cracked. what the seller told me about.
What's most practical about your car?
The car isn't practical but the mini isn't about that, but you can comfortable fit 4 people in the car so top marks for that.
