The San Digo Union Tribune has a nice article about the S. The picture, however, was of a Cooper!

"Another teensy nitpick came out of hot weather driving with the air conditioning on. Those artful air vents on either side of the steering wheel blow right on the knuckles as you grasp the wheel."

You've got to love newspaper reporters. Didn't he think of redirecting those "artful air vents? Not a roads scholar.....

have no flow to it.

It seems that,

stands on it's own

and is not directly related

to the one above or below it.

I love any publicity on our Minis, but I do wish for accuracy too. Two weeks ago in the LA Times, the reporter kept calling the Mini a 're-issue'. They never stopped making the Mini in England.
