LOL -- I remember one trip, from Worthing to Taunton, in the 850 cc mini: Just this side of Salisbury the exhaust manifold split, taking the accelerator return spring with it. So I travelled the last part of the journey on full revs with effectively no exhaust system!!!

It might have been a simple, old fashioned, engine, but it survived (many modern blocks would have gone to engine heaven in short order).

For a few miles I had an 850 cc hot rod -- complete with real flames !!!!!
