mercedes estate aaaahhh!
i had one just like that. i kept it for a year until it was stolen. maybe six years ago. the seats were upholstered in fabric and felt like they had one large springs in them.
sad part of my memories with my mercedes are;
shortly before it was stolen i uncovered a plastic bag full of old music cassettes and recordings of myself on pirate radio from way back when. for years it had stayed at the bottom of a cardboard box. driving became a pleasure, cruising along bouncing around on my velour covered spring listening to myself with a high pitched voice. that bag of tapes was probably tossed in a skip or maybe its still there tucked under the seat.
dammit your legs might be too long for a mini. you'll develop a bad back and take to walking like john wayne.
if you want to test the water, place a 700c wheel between your legs and walk 20 paces............thats what it will be like everytime you get out of a mini.
