Moving Some Blue and Silver (and Red) Stuff, Part 3

Long trip in a Mini shouldn’t be an issue.
Me and my wife did it a few times, South of France, UK ... no problems whatsoever. Our 2005 Mini Cooper in the Cévennes France. ...
Beautiful sound.
Nothing beats a good old V8 for raw sound. That Mini is amazing, also a true collectors item by now, especially in this condition. Looks like you guys are having loads of fun.
