fourlinks_6wheelMini

It seems an oxymoron to craft a bigger Mini (looking at you, BMW…), but that's what a group of schoolchildren did in the Seventies, creating a system that added a second rear axle and additional space that lunchbox latches onto the back of a Mini, as Jeroen Booij at Maximum Mini pointed out this week.

* A photo of a mystery mini (not Mini) coupe that The Old Motor recently uncovered turned out to be a largely pieced-together car by George Brauks of St. Louis, as Robert Cunningham wrote in a follow-up.

fourlinks_Latvianbuses

* You never thought you wanted to know everything there is to know about Latvian-made minibuses (translated) until seeing this page that reader Maris Jansons suggested this week.

fourlinks_Duryea

* A couple weeks ago, The Henry Ford went into a good amount of detail on their 1896 Duryea, the first series-built vehicle sold in America.

* Finally, what was it like to cruise in Larry Watson's Grapevine with the man himself? Los Boulevardos has a first-person account.
