So fond was I of the idiosyncracies of the old Minis - so extreme  
that they made Lucas look reasonable - that I even reverted to a  
Morris Minor for a while. Now that had some REAL eccentricities.  
Overheating was judged by that most immediate of instruments - the  
human nose.
Anyone who could do 25,000 miles per year in a Mini in the pommy  
climate  deserves a medal and immediate hospitalisation for therapy.
