Auto News 5

Most of my girlfriends are not really into cars like I am. They are great at reminding me that women and men buy cars for different reasons. This week, one of my friends asked me what car I was driving, and I replied "the MINI Cooper Clubman". She had a strange look on her face, so I said "a MINI - just an extended one"; she still had a blank stare in her eyes. "The Italian Job?" I said: this, of course, she is familiar with.
