Here, I corrected it for you.

You've NEVER driven one have you?

Not a proper one at least. Once you do the snide smirk will be wiped off your face and it will be replaced with a huge grin - after you've picked your jaw up off the ground.

The original Mini is a fantastic piece of engineering design. Intended as a compact economy car, yet it could run rings around much bigger and powerful sports and muscle cars on a track because of it's light weight and stunning handling. So simple too.

Sure, it's very small and looks a little funny compared to the average car, especially in the USA, but you would be hard pushed to find anything this much automotive fun for the same amount of money.

Honestly snipe, I really think you NEED to find someone with one and beg for a drive. Trust me.
