very nice Mankie, I dont rememer seeing a mini on those wheels before though…….

A garage in Arlington had a couple of original minis outside when we went buy a couple of weeks back. I forgot how small they looked.

Newer is not always better.Maitenance is the key!Those old Dodge Darts and Swingers run forever and look hip as all get out.

If you have $25,000 to spend I can get you a brand new classic mini that is a 1998 (last year made) that is right here in N.VA.

I would sell you mine but then I would have to kill myself.

To be a hipster you need a car that is a craps shoot as to whether it will start. Friend has a true hipster sister, and her car (before she sold it) would not be running about 3/4 of the time. And the more obscure the better, if you can get a Citroen deux cheveaux you will attain godlike status. Some other classics would be that Pinto (extra points for the faux woodgrain siding), any 60's 70's family truckster (someone has to haul all their buddies around).

My own

is a 67 lincoln continental. Suicide doors are the bomb, and a brake job is a lot less than 25k.

That is one of the Italian ones right? How about the BMW one, that thing is cool.

And to paraphrase Animal farm:

3 wheels good, four wheels bad

1979 300SD

Fantastic car. And you can usually find good ones for a very reasonable price. Incredibly low maintenance.

It's actually a VW messerschmitt…made from the cockpitof a messerschmitt plane. The BMW is the Issetta…photo to follow!

I love this Italian car Fiat 500….hope to one day own one to keep my mini company.

I have always wanted a trabant. Was in Germany right after the reunification and you would see them sticking out of dumpsters. They were too cool.
