A quarter of a century ago, I met a bloke who reckoned he was designing the all-new MINI. \u201cCan you tell me more?\u201d was my obvious response.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot really. But I\u2019ll happily do a sketch that\u2019ll give you a rough idea of how it\u2019ll look,\u201d he replied helpfully as he grabbed a cheap ballpoint pen and, on the rear of his business card, drew me a mini rendition of what he claimed was the MINI for the 2000s and beyond.<\/p>\n
