This is an Australian Model, as you can see from the Roo bar on the front. It was rescued from a scrap-yard in Brisbane late last century and we have owned it since 2002.

The body is of a true Mini Cooper S, but the engine is a bored out 1380 MG metro lump.

In 2004 Peter drove Whee from Seattle to Chicago with over 1,000 miles covered in a single day.

Raced in Chicago after 3 days of driving to get there

And driven back to Seattle after success!

More recently, an adventure up to Pikes Peak in 2018.
