This thread took me back to 1986 when I owned a 2yr old black mini mayfair
I did question myself after sitting in it and catching my fingers in the seat adjustments quickly followed by a painful blow to the funny bone when swinging my arm to lean out of the window
Torrential rain caused the engine to die whilst hurtling down the M4 in the fast lane ( v scary)
Quickly recovered
I then went onto have many miles of fun in my little pride and joy
