Books arrived

Just got the two books as a late Christmas present based on the recommendations I got from many of you:
  • The Mini by Brian Laban
  • MINI: 50 Years by Rob Golding
Looking forward to diving in and learning more. Thanks all for the reco.

I received both of these on Christmas morning.

Both very good, and very different.

B.Laban's book in particular provides a bunch of British cultural and history references I'd never heard before, illuminating for sure, the types of things you'd know so well growing up there, but not...if not.

I have/have read MINI: 50 Years. And I learned a lot in that book. I read it shortly after I got Stinky and actually started reading it again, since it has been a year lol.
