new and old


time now to re-engage with our toy segment here on the show. my little guy spent all of his hard earned money at Christmas time to get me a new car. it's the 2011 mini cooper s "challenge". and although i'm not a big fan of production racers, i do like this little rally monkey.
and of course it reminded me of where it all started. 1959 earls court motor show introduced the original mini. a revolution in small car motoring at the time. so now i have both. and although the new one may not have that 60's charm and the right hand drive, it does go like the devil.
