On a visit with friends to the UK in 1996, we spotted a lightly camouflaged prototype mule driving on public roads. We were convinced that we had just see the “new Mini”. (We were massive classic Mini enthusiasts on holiday from the US, and the Frank Stephanson- designed MINI had not yet been shown, but everyone knew a new Mini was coming). We followed the car to the gates of Ricardo Engineering. The test drivers were pretty mad at us for trying to take photos of the car. And they would not confirm or deny that it was a prototype “new Mini”. A couple of years later, the distinctive shape of the prototype we had spotted was unveiled as the new Matiz!

You have reminded me of some serious fun that I had in the Panda around West Donegal which looks very similar to parts of Wales 🏴. I think I had 36 bhp but the Panda was very light, scarily so at the back end. Imagine the fun I had, when you bought Myrtle, I graduated to a 1990 Fiat Panda Sergio Tacchini with a 5 speed and a Mighty 1000 cc big block.

What a wonderful run that was. You're not wrong, that 3 cylinder engine sounds absolutely lovely. Thank you for sharing it with us. Such a beautiful place to drive, it beats the congestion of cities. I really want to explore Wales in my van once conditions allow. Your videos whet my appetite. Rant starts: Driving around in Cornwall, I despair at people that drive at 40mph in a national speed limit on a good day, then continue at 40mph through a 30mph limit. Such people are usually the ones that also compulsively put their brakes on if seeing oncoming vehicles or bends, with little regard for whether then actually need to do so. Thus they waste their tyres, brakes, and fuel. They often seem incapable of operating their indicators too. So many times I've had to guess whether such drivers' brake lights are indicative of an intention to slow down to turn off, or just another random and vague act of braking that will barely slow them at all, simply because they don't indicate with appropriate warning. Rant Ends! Thank you Ian :)

It started with a four cylinder 1200 (I think) engine and now it's up to 1400. I worked at a GM dealership, but never drove one. The most interesting one to me, though, was only introduced for a short time in Oregon and California. It was pure electric, and the early ones had something like 400 foot pounds of torque. One test I saw showed the driver getting wheel spin at 40 mph!

As Top Gear one said, little cars are fun as you can take them to the limit on normal roads without needing to break the speed limit. We get such idiots (mainly motorbikes) on the cost road in Dorset between Abbotsbury and Bridport, as such they changed it to being 50mph even on sections that should be national speed limit, admittedly going up Abbotsbury hill the speed limit is not really a problem! Naturally we also get "Sunday drivers". (18% max if the internet is correct, gets steeper as you go up so you get up some speed, change gear and immediately realise your mistake!) Even worse on the beach road to Portland we get people looking at the scenery and not where they are going so go about 30mph on a 60, not good.
