Not A Dude
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I wasn't sure where to put it.
My bloke's 50 next year. Years ago he used to do a bit of rallying in minis, and after I bought mine, made a few noises about wanting to have a go at it again. A friend of mine apparently has enough bits and bobs lying around to help me put together a souped-up rally-ready mini, so I thought that'd make a good pressie.
Other people - who mostly aren't that interested in cars or motorsport - have said I should hire something flash for a few days, but he won't break speed limits, which I can't help thinking would make it a bit pointless, and he's said he'd feel a bit iffy about driving around with a blonde young enough to be his daughter.
The third option would be one of those experience day racing things, as I don't think he'd have a problem with speed *off* the road, but that's just one day, whereas I thought the mini would be something we could do together for a while, and at least it has a resale value if that doesn't happen.
So - what do you lot think? I've got quite a while to sort it out whatever I decide, but I'll have to save up a bit whatever I choose.
