My Mini Cooper
Ah. My Mini Cooper. This car is basically my life. If not my bare heart and soul. It is a 1971 Mini Cooper, built at the BMC factory in England, so naturally it is a right hand drive car. Its engine is smaller than most motorcycle engines, but proved itself to be very effective since it won many rally races against top motorcar companies. Its 1275cc GT engine is a straight four cylinder, about the size of a breifcase, and pushes out 75 horse power. The car was originally built as a commuter's economical motorcar so it comfortably sits 4 grown adults in about 2 cubic meteres worth of space and gets around 50 miles to the gallon. I currently have the largest wheels allowed on a Mini frame, which are 13", so you can imagine how truly tiny that car is. The car itself wieghs in at around 700 pounds. The car is quick, fun, lovable, cute, and scary to drive next to SUVs. I love this car. I think I'll name him... Chuckie!
