IT’S ALL doom and gloom, isn’t it. The country is in a mess so deep that this generation might never see things as good as they once were, while household budgets are being squeezed more than they have for decades.
MINI ADVENTURE, MAXIMUM TOWN (LA TO VEGAS MINI ROADSTER DRIVE)
CONTEXT is everything; if you've ever found yourself insufficiently well-dressed at a function or perhaps at the wrong end of a football stadium, you'll know that everything has its place and being in the wrong can be uncomfortable. Apply that logic to the Mini then - a car that trades on its Britishness (and is built in Oxford, don't forget) and its compactness – then ship it Stateside and the fish-out-of-water analogies are hard to ignore. This is the Big Country, where might is right and small is...well, just wrong. But that didn't stop us taking a Mini Roadster Cooper S, complete with full Stars 'n' Stripes exterior graphic, from the heart of urban cool in Los Angeles to the heart of the complete opposite; Las Vegas.
