I almost feel bad chiming in on this one. I too bought a newer car. Id
didn't go as new as a Mini, but I bought a 1991 Lotus Elan. It's a
wonderful car. Faster than a miata, takes turns like you can't believe a
front wheel drive car would, the top goes down, very reliable, and altough
not cheap, a very good value for the money. Oh, and it's still
British!!!!
