The only person I knew that owned a (proper) mini was also a lanky bugger. Is there some weird trend for tall people?

Ha - I went through four of them before kids forced me to get a bigger car

I went on a pupil exchange in France a long time ago. One of us was about 6'7" when he was 15 and his host family turned up in a Mini ... seeing him fold himself into it was very funny. I still remember the look on his face as the car moved off and he had his knees right up to his nose.

Old minis are surprisingly well suited to tall drivers, and haveore headroom than much bigger cars.
I bought my mini from a giant of a man.

Many years ago when driving my (proper) Mini I pissed off some tosser in a Jag by Hyde Park Corner and gave him a 2 fingered salute.
At the next set of lights he wound down his window (no electrics then!) and said "You're just a big guy in a small car aren't you?"
It completely threw me because it was true: I'm 6'2" and just about fitted in the car...
