How come the Mini is 40 years young? What happened in 1967 thats so important that you'd ignore the fact that the mini has been around for 48 years?

Not a bad article, but I think they've over estimated the weight of the original mini.
990kg! :lol:

They stated it weighed 690kg in the article and in the specs list the weight is correct in pounds. Divide the imperial weight by 2.2 and you'll get approximately 690kg



Okay then.

990/2.2= 450kgs = NOT 690kgs

Nope. :D
Must be just a typo.

:D

Sorry Adeee - it was a shot at Scotts wording, not at you.
Just meant to be slightly humerous.

The only one, so far, that thinks I am nice all the time is my dog.
