With 130bhp and only weighing 600kg, these little Minis are fighty things. This is what happened when Chris went into battle against 60 of them at Goodwood. Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: bit.ly/Subscrib...

Couldn’t agree more, I bought my first Mini in 1967. It was a 1959 Austin Seven (as the first ones were named). Then in 1969 I bought a 1963 Mini Cooper in Almond Green/Old English White, that car was so much fun and never let me down. I’m currently searching for one or an ‘S’ to enjoy in my late years before the clock stops ticking. Great cars that have become one of, if not the most iconic of British motoring heritage.

But like all mega talented people that’s undoubtedly because you work so hard whilst also being the bloke at the bar in the local who’d happily chat about anything. I remember a very early video of yours where you were “analysing” which shoes to wear for a first drive and that’s before you drove and F40 against an F50. As I said....genius. I don’t know you or your your family but hearing about your mum’s passing brought tears to my eyes. I have no other words other than to offer my condolences.
