There was actually an English car called a
'Maxi' too. It was somewhat
similar mechancially to the Mini, but larger.
Hmmm. compared in size to the BMW? Odd feature..
The engine and transmission (wether manual or automatic)
use the _same_ oil. I am told the automatic was none-too-reliable, but
geting it to work at all using engine oil as the hydraulic fluid was an
achievement.
Interesting.
I've never been in an automatic Mini. Was there enough spare power?
