I'm with John on the Mini/Imp debate. When I was 10 or thereabouts my brother was rallying Imps and he and his mates timed an engine swop at 8 minutes which I thought was pretty amazing. Just as well it was so easy as when I got my first car - an Imp - it became a weekly event, bloody head gaskets. My second car was also an Imp. I'm a slow learner!
I'll concede the Mini is a treasure even though I never liked them. The Imp sadly doesn't quite make it into the treasure box, but neither was it a folly.
