So class remember this material will be on the final exam. The funny part is the Mini was designed to be an economic family car. Giving the freedom of the roads to people who never had it before. The Mini was embraced by almost everyone and still is. While visiting England for MINI United in the Summer of 2009 (the whole thing that kicked off this comic) I did have the chance to see a number of special “celebrity Minis” including this one modified for the late George Harrison of the Beatles.
