kutsuwamushiNot that I have anything against owners of Mini Coopers - in general, they have their priorities straight. They wanted a car that -
- is cute as hell.
- is fun to drive.
- is easy to park.
And I can't argue with that, but the fact is, they did make the wrong choice in car, because there is one that fulfills all of those requirements far better than a Mini, and is just as charmingly retro. It's the 1963 Peel P50.
It has no ass.
You may want to ask, What about safety? That's a very good question, but rest assured: it's probably almost as safe as going on foot... down the center of the lane.
