This is Flick. Flick is my third Mini - my first car was a 1971, my second car was a 1978 and now, 35 years later, I’ve made it to a 1981 Mini. There are 1000 throbbing (slightly trembling) cc’s under the bonnet and on a good day, with the wind coming from the right direction, you can hear her roar.
On a downhill and with a weeks notice in writing we can make it to 100km per hour.
We’ve had her reupholstered and I’ve replaced all the carpet. Engine work is imminent but we still won’t win any races.
Despite that, she’s a lot of fun to drive and we bring joy to a lot of people, which I hate, as we drive around.

your license plate is almost nearing to a swear word. almost, not quite though. when i used to drive i couldn't drive a mini, nor a full size car although i can drive a van. i love the colour of flick. aces!
( Do you have the yellow car game?? First to see thumps sibling, spouse, if it's a yellow mini double thumps and much harder!)
@30pics4jackiesdiamond we call that "Spotto"
Enjoy spreading happiness wherever you travel :)

@corinnec And incredibly enomic!
@kjarn Distressingly so!
@kali66 It seems to fit with the driver... ;)
@30pics4jackiesdiamond We definitely have that game here...
@jamibann That fits with the number plate!
@Dawn Thanks :)
@koalagardens It was either that or take up yoga to be able to get in there!
@julzmaioro I'd look fabulous in a flying helmet!
@joemuli Thanks very much :)
