No he wasn't joking. The early ones were ~25ish HP. They didn't get into the 40HP range until the early 60"s. I also had an original Austin Mini that may have been 40ish HP as well, but it was a hoot to drive. I think you should take some water & food coloring out & give your bug a "paint job". Its too awesome to let it just melt away . This kinda makes me want to keep winter around so you can make people feel good with your "Snow Bug" You are a great artist!!!
I didn't know what to do, so I didn't do anything
