What a cool Mini place! I'd love to visit there and hear the stories and see the cars.
When I was in college I had the only Mini in a rural college town of about 25,000. Nobody but nobody there knew what a Mini was. But then some exchange students from Japan arrived and several of them lived in the same dorm as I did. They ooh'd and ahhh'd upon seeing my Mini and I was surprised to learn how much the Mini was loved in Japan.
Yeah, great stuff! I never knew about this man, his cars, etc.... very interesting! Thanks for sharing!
The fellow in the hoody has a shop in BC, Canada that specializes in British cars I recently posted a vid of a trip he and a buddy did in their Mini and MG, including backing the Mini off at a turn and almost dropping it in a lake!
He's also been posting videos of how-tos on various Mini components, recently he did one on the rear subframe.
