Stijn, I get what you're saying but that blue car looks just wrong IMO but I'm also an Old Fashioned "Basterd".
The external body seems are one of the things that makes a Mini a "Mini". And I'm sure Alec Issigonis never thought too much about aero when he designed the little brick. Note how they installed the clips before the top coats in the vid. I love details like that. BTW I've never owned one, I've always gravitated towards Italian or German cars. British cars have never done it for me.
A friend of mine who has always been a British car nut is "happy" if he gets more than 80,000km from a classic Jag before the top end needs rebuilding. I've never understood that kind of thinking.
My somewhat complete car list... (My many VW's are not included because they were either appliance or track cars)
- Fiat 500: One was more than enough.
- Alfa Romeos: 4 in total. Generally a POS, I'm sure they come with rust from the factory but they are fun.
- Lancia: Lost count but I think 8 - I kept circling back. lol
- Mercedes Benz: Number 3 is in my garage right now. As I get older I'll probably always have a MB as a daily.
- My 78 SC is 3rd Porsche I've owned. Needs to be driven more but it's increased value keeps it in the garage.
