MINI Challenge Time!!

Tonight I am transporting my squat, elderly aunt (and her cane), my wife, and my teenage daughter to two separate destinations.

Should be somewhat of a cramped affair. However, the kid was an influencer on the car/colour combo, so she accepts that sometimes sitting behind the driver sucks. The driver will "usually" move the seat forward. The teenager has good size feet, so I have to be accomodating!

A few weeks ago my aunt was in the front seat. I was driving her home. Ready for this?

She told my mother that the MINI was the most comfortable car she's ever ridden in.

Hey, BMW - d'ya want my aunt's number? SuperSenior endorsement opportunity!

 

Let us know how it worked out. Do you find that it is more important to jack the seat up so that the rear passenger can slide their feet under the front one, or more of a combination of sliding it forward and jacking it higher? I hate sitting too close!

In the early 70's, I once took a short trip with three 6' tall friends in my 1966 Austin Mini Cooper S. But we were young and flexible!

 

Had an opportunity to take the mini onto I-80 and open her up a bit. Got her up to 110mph on an isolated stretch of road. I wasn't even pushing her hard. O boy is this car going to be fun.
