Maybe I have sick humor, but at 1:20 I expected to see that SUV plow into the mini, lol.  How bad would that be.  ;D  I did like the slow garage open in the beginning.  I wanted to do that with my first pickup but put the song from a space oddyses 2000 (think that is the movie name) as the background music.  When the music hit the dramatic part, pull out of the garage.  Maybe even have smoke/fog as an effect.  I also had an electrical fire in that thing when I first bought it.  Ah memories.

Seat is done still needs shock's had to put a clutch in it last winter the disk was bad  50.gif  now I have a clutch master issue that needs to be sorted out and it needs touched up and and cleaned. But it has seen the road I took the family out for a short drive last Sunday meet up with Jeff  and some friends we have made from the local Mini club had some lunch, and a bad rad cap crapping coolant all over. The car ran and handled well and if the weather is good this Friday my wife and I will run some errands with it.
