He's a huge foreign car guy with a few Healys in his garage. License tag N24NCARS He loves his Mini in spite of its problems and the problems have not been minor. He has had the steering column and rack replaced under warranty more than once. When I heard he had repeat steering system issues that wrote them off for me.
