YESSSSSS!!!!
Okay, it was only around town doing errands, but it is a perfect fall day, 17 deg.C clear blue sky and light traffic.
BONUS: it was mild enough today I was able to wash the Mini, which was dusty from home renovations.

And yes, I drove a Mini today. It was the truck's turn.

Hello Whee .  This is Tomrosewood . I pick up the Mini in Vancouver on the 18th. Fly there and drive it back to Sacramento. Seller sounds like a great person and maybe I found a new friend as well as a great car. You said you might have some tips about what I need to cross the border. I'm taking my dealers plate and info. looking for a battery operated hair drier for a defog situation. No radio so I have to take alternative music source. Tool bag for sure. 
Tom

Routemaster British double decker bus?

If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.

Give a car more power and it goes faster on the straights,
make a car lighter and it's faster everywhere. Colin Chapman.

I had thought that the height and the red paint would have been a hint. Then I realized the version I uploaded was too dark to see the red paint, which made it way too hard.


It was taken from the top window of this vehicle.

It's a trick question! You got 3 correct, but only 2 of them are British. What's the 4th vehicle in the picture? As a hint, the picture is being taken from inside that 4th vehicle...
land rover?
Nope!

The pickup truck fits in well on the rural roads to the East of me.

Bonus points to anyone who can identify the THREE british vehicles in the last picture...
