Today I've decided to do something
different. I am showcasing the talents of an acquaintance of mine,
Mr. Mo Halim. He brings to us a tale about the original Mini (appropriate since it too celebrates its 55th year of existence) and
more. One that happened years and years ago and over in ol' England I presume.
The story
by Mo Halim
My guardian bought one of the first
Minis. She loved cars and had been driving since the early 30s in
pre-war Malaya. She drove with panache and verve; fast and precise
yet so relaxed. She had bought one the first Minis after she was
invited to its public debut at a theatre in Birmingham. But after a
succession of MGs it was too pedestrian for her driving style. So
when the Mini Cooper came out, she immediately bought one.
