The Mini Cooper King

Dear Nannu Nenu aka the Mini Cooper King!

Although you are not a man of much words, you inspire me through your actions. Nothing seems to stop you, no weather, injury or age. 88 years old and you still show up to the garage and work on your passion. Fixing cars and building vintage Minis. As a kid I would love to hear your stories venturing to Libya in the Sahara desert as an engineer and solving big boy problems. Boy does Nanna have a hard time getting your attention when there is a Mini Cooper S 1960 around you. You are a role model Nannu, of what it means to show up and do the work you love, Bless you !
