The ole cowboy back in the days of the Wild West had to have a six-shooter that was fast, accurate and reliable along with a steed that could turn on a dime, jump a ravine, and make time while the getting was good. A cowboy would ditch his girlfriend before he’d let his horse go…
Well, partner that’s what today’s rough and tough cowgirls and cowboys are saying about the MINi. They love its durability, reliability, ability to turn on a dime and fit into the snuggest little parking place in town. The MINIS have evolved a little from the day of the ancestors, grew a little bigger, widened at the girth, but they’re still the Mini’s from the 60’s and you can take that to the bank.
If you like convertibles and want to let your hair down and show off just a wee bit, settle for the 2005 MINI S Cooper Convertible. If you like to do a little shifting, get the 5-speed and enjoy the comfort, speed and 115 horsepower, 1.6 liter 4 cylinder engine. With it’s little sophisticated supercharger you get the thrill of about 168 horsepower throbbing beneath your feet.
For those who haven’t had the honor of owning one of the great cars and need a family vehicle, check out the new 2008 MINI Cooper S Clubman. The star features this year prove to give the rear seat passengers more legroom plus extra doors added for family convenience. You have your choice of a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic and with a supercharger that sends you flying to 60 mph in less than 7.6 seconds. Get this – even the automatic gets you to 60 mph in 7.8 seconds with a top speed of 136 mph.
Many other choices are available in this loveable Classic MINI and if you’re a collector, consider finding a mint Mini in the 80’s. You see there’s a newer Mini in town, notice the spelling of the new boy (MINI), but the older Classic Mini still gets awes and whispers from bystanders.
