A friend & I went on a 10-day holiday in his 850 cc Mini. The hydrolastic suspension had given up on the passenger side, so it was just using tyre pressure & the rubber bump stops as suspension on that side. Three days from home we only made 40 miles: 20 from the overnight stop & 20 back in a tow-truck. The gearbox had lost four bolts and dropped away from the engine. That took a day & $45 to fix. It was quite a fun trip, though. Great little car.
