Not so mini!

A newer Mini Cooper parked next to me and our cars look more mini than the Cooper!

Beautiful 911!!

But yeah, I know what you mean. The owner of my company drives a "mini", this thing isn't so mini. It's about the same size as the many corollas in our parking lot. It look tiny next to my Suburban, but anything other than an Excursion does.

As MINIs have gotten bigger with each generation, I don't know how they can even call them "MINI" any more.

911s up through 1998 are down right tiny these days.

Thanks for the compliments! My picture doesn't do the comparison justice. It definitely is stout. Love the comment that the interior seems to be getting smaller. I resemble that remark!

Most of my friends (not car people) who have seen my car are struck by how small it is. Hell, even I was struck by how small it was when I parked it next to my Accord.

Modern B-segment cars like a Honda Fit or or a Chevy Trax look small until I see them next to something that is 20 years old, and then they look huge.

My '56 Speedster appears wider than my '88 Carrera when sitting end to end in the garage. Out of the garage and separated by several feet the 911 seems much larger than the Speedster.

Waiting for the Mini Maxi at least it will be truth in advertising.

My 914 next to any car looks like a pedal car.
