Yep. Obviously not taking into account the engine cutting-out if you foolishly drove in the rain, the rusting sub frames & floors, the under-engineered constant velocity joints and the sides of stylishly unequal length. Oh, and a pricing structure which meant a loss on every one made, contributing in no small measure to the decline in the British (owned) motor industry. Good fun though.
Sorry. I'm going out for a bit now.

And the voltage drop along the cable between the battery (in the boot) and the starter motor being just enough to prevent it starting whenever the temperature dropped below zero.
And what about that ****ing by-pass hose?
My front sub-frame didn't rust, too much oil leaking all over it to allow that.
Absolutely loved driving it though.

I'm sure everyone who has an E-Type or McLaren F1 will be queueing up at their nearest part-exchange Mini dealer with this news coming out...
