I stopped by a BMW dealer on Sunday to check out the Mini for my GF, they were closed though. People cant help but smile when they see a mini! Being as its registered as a 1970, can you get classic insurance for it? And was it hard to get a loan for it being as its registered as a 1970?
Don't get the new BMW mini's confused with the true austin mini's. The new mini's are cool as hell, but there is a big difference between the two. Austion Cooper closed shop after Dave Cooper died, and so did the mini. Then BMW came out with their version.

They had a loaded S model, supercharger, suspension, all kinds of ****, leather, nav system maybe?, big *** sunroof, mettalic paint, and it was $24,000. Car is nice, I checked them out at the auto show as well. Is the original mini much smaller?

Yea I didn't see any of the guage cluster, maybe I missed them.
PS I don't have to use the search function because I am an *******.
