Well today is the 50th birthday of that wonderful old car, the mini!

I just mention it here as I believe it should be celebrated, and it also gives me the chance to reminisce about my own first car, my lovely beautiful Red Hot Mini!

My Mini Red Hot

As a car it was wonderful to drive, I knew exactly where all the corners of the car were for parking due to it’s excellent all round vision and I could squeeze it through the tiniest gaps. When I was having a bad day there was nothing better than driving down the street and finding another mini driving coming the other way, flashing their lights and waving in greeting. That never failed to cheer me up!
