Its great to see something different, cars nowadays look too similar. I like the red highlites and graphics but the side mirror could have been a bit smaller

Surely someone who is "globally challenged" would have got another car.
One of my mates owns a Ford meteor and he can manages to get two wheel chairs it a few on the Geelong crew might know Richard Coleman, he won a few medals in the paraolympics.
The big question is WHY a mini?

There were quite a few high-roof Mini vans made, I haven't seen one with windows installed in the top though.
