10" Mini-Lites with Yokohama 165/70 R10 A008 Tyre. The tires are pretty cheap, about $80 each last time I had to replace them.

So we got the call that today was the day. Picked the Mini up this afternoon, Bean was strapped in for the drive home and she is now parked next to the Bug.

The first AWD Ferrari model was introduced in 2011. The FF had a 6.3 liter V-12 with 651 hp and was roomier than previous Ferrari 2+2s. This one is a 2014 with less than 9,000 miles. New price about 350K and the owner is asking 170K. Horrible fuel economy, of course.

In general, I think Ferraris look great, but I'm not as sure of this one.

The FF was replaced in 2016 by a slightly restyled but similar model, the GTC4Lusso, which bumped the horsepower up to 681. A year or so later, a turbo 3.9 liter V-8 version without the AWD system was introduced at a lower (but still high) price point; it only had 610 hp.

Those two models lasted until 2020 and Ferrari no longer had a 2+2 model, except that now they've introduced an SUV (of course) with four doors: The Purosangue with power-operated rear suicide doors. The Ferraristas are horrified, just like the 911 crowd was horrified when Porsche introduced an SUV and the old school BMW crowd was horrified when the X5 was introduced.

Predictably, the Purosangue has amazing power: 6.5 liter V-12 of 715 hp. I don't know the price but if you have to ask...

The Mini is a '79. Just about every nut and bolt came off of it, and mostly new parts. It's very tight, probably better than they ever were from the factory. Very small, and just about every speed seems much faster than you're actually going.

Nice...

My wife wants one. It would be her fourth Z. Her current one is a 370Z with around 60,000 miles on it.

I suspect there's a long line at the Nissan dealer. And probably the dreaded markup on price, too.
