I was living & working in Niagara Falls Ontario, raising a young family, driving a  1958 VW bug, thinking had the world by the tail

It took me to 1965 to get into an Austin America & then 1990 to get into the mini scene and still there

This Week in History:     August 30, 1959

The first Mini Car is sold. Following fuel shortages caused by the 1956 Suez Crisis, Sir Alex Issigonis turned a crisis into an opportunity by designing this simpler, smaller, iconic vehicle.
