I miss small cars like that now, everything is SO big here in the UK now, the cars are getting like the US ones!!, unfortunately we don’t have the roads as big as America to accommodate them!

Quote from: Mandolin Girl on February 13, 2021, 09:25:24 AM Add to the list of cars that have been ruined the Fiat 500.!    We thought that it was a nice tribute to the original one, that is until we found out that it had got a 900cc engine in it.!!  Here here!, it’s not the styling of the new Mini, or Fiats 500, it’s the size I don’t like!, the perfect new Mini for me would be how it looks now, but in the SAME SCALE as the original one!

Lol, it’s nice to talk to somebody that remembers cars like the Maxi and Princess, (AKA the wedge)!, and the original Mini

We also had a white Mini back in the early 80s, I remember the registration, EFM 961L to this day! I don’t know what the obsession is with bigger cars today?, we considered the Mini a family car back then, 4 of us, mum, dad, me and my sister, could easily go on holiday in one including the luggage!

Quote from: sox35 on February 13, 2021, 11:33:52 AM I don't like the styling of the new fake mini at all, it's ugly. And some of them are bigger than a Maxi, FFS  Bring back the classic Mini; Alec Issigonis is probably rolling in his grave at the sight of these awful things  If he was still alive I think poor Alec Issigonis would projectile vomit at the sight of the new 'Mini' Countryman! It's a clossal abomination.

So far I've owned only two cars.... my Pontiac G6, and my former Pontiac Grand Prix, GT model. (I've got a video of that car if ya'll want to check that out. Stupid video though, from 2012.) Both rather... boring cars... although the Pontiac Grand Prix was more exciting than the G6. But... rod knock. That's how that car ended. That Grand Prix was my first car.
