'Mini Is Big For Me'

Mini Is Big For Me

This morning, I was roaming around the village when I happen to pass by the house of our new neighbor. I was stunned when I saw in their lawn a parked vintage car. From how it looks, I can say its a 1960 to 1970 super Mini. I wasn't really sure because I have not seen in in closer range but I'm pretty much definite that it is a mini.

I really have the heart for vintage cars. I so love how it looks. I have seen a lot of copper minis before but it never fails to amaze me every time I see one.

For those of you who do not you (though I believe theres only a few people who doesn't know what minis are), minis are small type cars that generally produced in Europe particularly in the United Kingdom. It was popular in its days up to now. The genuine Mini production started in 1959 that last up to 2000 and was superseded by the New MINI, which was own by BMW. Do not forget to write it in all capital letters. This is done to avoid criss crossing of ideas from its predecessor. The Coopers are the sporty versions of the very successful minis. The minis are purposely made to lessen the consumption of oil and only to provide comfort for for a 5-6 seater small car.

Nowadays, they are more of the collectible car than used as a real car. Its really rare seeing them in road. I have seen many of them only in the garage and museums. However, those preserved Minis will most likely sell for double or even triple its original price if sold. Some vintage versions are also considered priceless, no amount of money can equal its value.

Even I, if ever I was given the chance to own a vintage mini, I definitely will not sell it. There are now tons of different designs of MINI because of the application of modern designs as headed by BMW, but the looks and style and the original idea of the original Mini is still the best for me, at least.
