I don't know why MINI is not famous here in the Philippines. I just learned about its existence this year when Irni showed me a magazine and he said that MINI is his dream car. That time, I couldn't figure out why it's his favorite. I didn't know much of its features before. All I know is that it's style is unique, uncommon, or even weird.

Roshni suggested that MINI would be the topic of our 21st post. So I researched about it and found MINI's official website, www.mini.com. There I learned about its different models and their features.
