i dont care if it isnt worth a dollar in 40 years to be honest, have you owned your mini for 40 years? do u think u'll still own a mini in 40 years? its a stupid and irrelevant proposition. Arguing wether or not a car will be a classic or not in 40 years is a waste of time.. no1 has crystal balls.. and as it stands cars these days are disposable items of a disposable world.. there are very very few cars made in the last 10 years that will ever be regarded as "classic" but u can find a cult following for many cars of similar vintage to the mini. Its just times chance, people in general arent as emotionally attached to thier cars anymore, they're a necessity, a tool, and thats about it. and really i sure hope we're not driving cars in 40 years time to be honest..
But if people like yourself continue to make negative comments about my car with no basis or reasoning, u just wanna be a hater, fine, but each and every time, i'll defend them and remind you classic mini ownership isnt all too fantastic when u take the rose coloured glasses off
In general I tire of the "bini" and the constant put downs from owners of classic minis when most of these people are own poor examples of the classic mini not worth more than a coupla grand. classic or not, i own one, they're not a great car, they're just an icon of a time gone past.. i love them they have thier charm and a palce in motoring history.. but they're just not a practical car for a modern age. They're slow, tempramental, not a creature comfort to speak of, because of thier age parts are either hard to find or expensive, however i know they're a fun car, andagain i love them to bits.. but comparing 5 cooper S's to a 250hp MINI? come on are u serious?.. i'm DAMN sure i know which car i'd prefer to drive every day.
I have alot of respect for well restored cars, i've done it myself, well to the best a 18/19 year olds income would allow, and because of it, i cant bring myself to sell the car. Its a complete waste of money, i dont kid myself, but its a hobby and what the hey.. its your own money to waste.. so if someone wants to waste 90 grand on a new mini.. big deal, if u cant appreciate the car for what it is, why is it your perogative to just say something negative for no good reason at all.
