Last saturday I had quite a "funny" adventure. The actor was a 2000 Mini Cooper (the original Mini, last edition). My brother borrowed it from a friend while getting his car fixed.

I arrive at my parents for lunch and park in the driveway in my 03 Chili Red/White with bonnet stripes car, right besides this miniature original Red/white Cooper with bonnet stripes. Both cars looked awesome together and... I left my camera at home :evil:

Anyway, I asked my brother to go for a ride, so we went to run errands at a not so close place. Everything was going fine, the original Mini felt like an original Beetle compared to the new one...

Then the british dwarf decided to remind us he was a british car after all: In the middle of the loop surrounding Mexico City, the dude decided to die on us on the left lane. So there we stood stranded in the smallest car possible (except for a Smart) in the most dangerous situation. I ended up pushing the car off the freeway through an entrance (the exit was too far away) with all the traffic coming my way !

It seemed like the gas pump died on us, and I was so happy my new Cooper has been SO reliable ...

Chow!
