Sounds like we need to start an air-cooled Volkwagen thread on here. I've never owned one, but always wanted one. For my first car, I either wanted a Bug or a Mini. My dad test drove a Bug for me and hated it. Luckily, a genuine Mini Cooper came up at a good price. Mini Cooper is a term that gets thrown around a lot, but only a small portion of Minis were REAL Coopers. The real ones all had disc brakes on the front, remote gearshifts, and higher tuned engines. Even the 998cc Coopers had 55hp from the factory.

That's it! I've started one...
