That's brilliant. Thanks guys, especially Weevel. That's everything I wanted to know.

Power's not a huge thing with me, so a EFI might be okay. So long as it gets along okay I'll be fine with it.

Now it's just down to finding a good car. 8)

Whilst I dont drive my mini everyday - sometimes in traffic is it a bit freightening - the car is very small and theres not real protection in case of an impact.

As an everyday car I think you'd need nerves of steel, or a fool hardy disregard for prangs and dents. I dont want to bend my mini. So i drive it slowly but in a progressive manner.

Based on the hectic city traffic - I'm very happy with an old roundie once a week.

What ive found is that the faster you go in an old car (classic) - the faster everyone else "needs" to go because they "have to" try and get in front of you.

Save your pennys and buy a decent 60's mod.
Come for a drive in mine - you'll love it.
