Hey Dennis, you too, eh? My first car was also a Mini, but not a Cooper, it was a 1100cc Mini K Panel Van. Commercial gearing meant it did 80km/h flat chat. Roomy dark recesses in the back were intended to impress the young ladies and carry heaps of camping gear. The ladies weren't terribly impressed it seems, but it was a ton of fun to drive and never really caused me too much trouble. All my mates at the time had either a Mini or a Moke, add CB radios and Friday nights were as hectic as "The Italian Job", but never faster than 80!
