The Aussie player said, “Look at that. That’s just beautiful isn’t it 😂. That’s my 1973 Mini. It just turned 50 years old last December. We had a big party for it. That’s my daily drive right there.” The age of the car took Courier by surprise as he talked about himself being 53 years old and not feeling great every day. He also asked him if it even starts up on most days. For De Minaur, finding it out was the most fun part of it all.
He said, “The whole fun of it is not knowing if it’s gonna start every morning. I’ve enjoyed being stuck in the middle of the road a couple of times. But it’s still my baby & I love it.”
