At the gym today, the only parking spot available for my 1977 Mini Clubman Estate was next to a 1970 Buick LeSabre four door Sport Sedan. I was dwarfed! Still there as I was leaving, I couldn’t even see around it when pulling out. My thought was “…gee, am I glad that this isn’t a Buick Electra, which was even bigger…”
- …just try driving around this in a Mini…
Driving away on North Avenue, what happened to be a couple cars ahead in the next lane but a bright blue 1964 Buick Electra convertible. Absolutely enormous. But, no-one was turning heads to look at it – everyone was turning to look at my Mini !
- David and Goliath, er… rather, Benny and the LeSabre
The Electra finally turned off of North Avenue onto a side street. People still kept pulling up alongside my Mini, asking questions and ask questions like – is it legal to have the steering wheel on that side?…
