Default Another Mini.
It doesn't know who it's father is, and the 110 ain't talking.
It's a Cooper 1275 S. We keep trying to get rid of it, but it keeps following us home.

If you really want to get rid of it, I'll stop by and throw it in the back of my Rover

So 87 should be fine? Finally found a page in the manual which recommends 90 - 92.

It's my son's. He actually was going to try driving it up some ramps, into the back of his RR. In keeping with his theory that if "spare parts are good, spare cars should be better." , he's trying to buy a full blown rally 1275 S from a guy in town. He already has 4 rovers, and 2 early CJs('46 CJ2A and M38), So I'm worried that these things can actually breed offspring. I think he wants 6ish for it.

Honest my wife drives it....lol.
Actually swore I would never buy a MINI. Then test drove one and came back smiling from ear to ear. Traded in a Stealth Twin Turbo for it.

Actually, I'm looking for a more practical commuter. Something super cheap & super gas efficient. I once had a Geo Metro hatchback & it was probably my 2nd favorite vehicle I've ever owned. Bare bones 5 speed, no a/c, front wheel drive did fine in snow,,,, I need something like that for work. I'm open to any suggestions from the group---let me know your thoughts.

*Shameless plug*

I have a 1988 Celica for sale. Got 537kms on my last tank of gas.
184,XXX kms on it. Awesome commuter/winter beater. $1000US...

Sorry had to give it a shot....I'm sure you're looking for something newer.

Might get flamed for saying this...but why not pick up an ultra cheap Hyundai Accent or something as a commuter, or a newer gutless Toyota.

a white roof on a disco might actually look pretty good.
