  1.  @grewdpastor  These older Alfas rust badly, but in truth, EVERY car of that generation rusted badly. Including Minis. I almost NEVER see a rusted car these days. Modern cars fail because the electrics are f*cked, although they're still good mechanically.

  2. I've owned Minis and I own a '69 Alfa. The fastest long-distance journeys I've ever made were by Mini.

  3.  @robertsmith9810  All true.

  4.  @boyracer3477  Agreed. Whole-heartedly.

  5. Agreed. Driving my Mini at speed in driving rain did many bad things.

  7.  @sergiobrunetti2072  The Mini is surprisingly quick, but you'll be deaf after a long fast journey.

  8.  @captainchaos3053  I've got a '58 A35 with a mildly-tuned engine, 5-speed Sierra box and other upgrades. I wish I'd never started because it'd be cheaper to have bought a Silver Shadow and tolerated an occasional big expense.

  9.  @AlastairSmith  BL should've fitted a five-speed box. A serious lack of investment. Many faults could/should've been put right during its long production. How about a screen-demisting ventilation system which actually works? Or a galvanised rust-resistant subframe? Or an electrical system which doesn't get drowned in water during heavy rain at motorway speeds?

  10.  @captainchaos3053  The A-series engine can be modified to accept the head from a BMW motorcycle. Serious BHP.

  11.  @captainchaos3053  You have greater knowledge about this than I have.
