Today is really nice here in NC, about 70 degrees outside. So i did my normal routine and took a car out to drive, today was the mini's turn. While cruising around town I decided to stop in at autozone and get some wax to wash the rx7 with. So i'm at a light trying to turn left, there is a car in front of me and a car behind me. The light turns green and the car in front of me turns, however there is a median dividing traffic and the car went on the wrong side of the median (hence going the wrong way). So I wasn't stupid and drove on the right side of the road, well the car behind me must have gotten confused cause he also went on the wrong side of the road. So here are these two cars driving down the wrong side of the road beside me in my austin cooper while I'm driving down the correct side of the road. Ironically they both pulled into the autozone which was only 100' feet away or so. So I get out of my mini and am like "where the hell did you guys learn to drive..ENGLAND!" Got a good laugh out of everyone, they even knew I had an austin mini and not a bmw....so they got the joke.

I'd take 25k for it. The car just turned over 10k kilometers, which is like 6500 miles.

I've been trying to find details on single rotor engines.....who knows what i'll do. This one I own now stays as is though. You can easily find old beat up mini's with 850cc engines in them for a few grand, would make an excellent project car.
