Re: The "brilliant Mini"
"he Mini and still it was a rather dreadful car, as wet and cold inside as outside, absolutely lethal in snow and sleet in the night on the road among real cars."
Really don't get this comment. In snow the mini classic is quite excellent, with good grip and feedback through the steering so you can tell what is going on. Of course deep snow can be an issue due to the small ground clearance! Screen demist in my current car leaves something to be desired, but the heating levels are great.
