 Well, for starters, a "Big Manly Man"???  Well, a Mini is only slightly
larger than the kart you perch yourself on now.  And if a Big Manly Man like
me can drive a Miata, then a slightly smaller big manly man like you can
drive a Mini.  But only an S with the Union Jack on top and hood stripes.
Preferably in BRG.

Thinking about the Mini myself.

It was my understanding that the S couldn't be had with a real limited
slip, just the electronic traction control.  Is that still the case?  Is
that a problem?

Too bad they don't make the half&half flag roof as a factory option for
those of us that are half&half.

The bigger question is can a big manly man like myself really not look
like a total dork driving a Mini?
