But for a daily driver? Aside from the tough ride, no A/C, reliability associated with an old English car - consider how small it is next to your typical Honda Accord. At least your Mini has bags and ABS, real considerations in rainy Oregon. Someone's inattention can make for a very bad day.
But again, wonderful cars.

+1, I've owned a number of old British sports cars over the years and only had two that I would not use for a daily driver: my Bugeye Sprite and the Mini. Both were just to small and too crude when dealing with traffic on the road.
