Dreams of a Diesel MINI

Posted by murmini Sat, 02 Jun 2007 02:01:39 GMT

Having just spent a weekend converting my son's girlfriend's 2003 VW Jetta to veggie oil, I can't help but consider what fun it would be to have a MINI Cooper Diesel and do the same.

It shows a group of young Lebanese driving through a South Beirut neighborhood in a MINI cabrio that seems so out of place amidst all the carnage.
