You cleaned off the car and shoveled the walk. What a nice guy!! How do you like the Mini?? Does it really stand a chance in those conditions??

Knee Dragger, Ask her what Happened to the 911s she had? The Mini"S" is a very serious car. Very stiff ride, Twitchy under braking, Does Burn Outs like a AA Fuel Dragster (With the Traction Control turned off, Ask her how many of these she has done), Hangs in a turn like the old "Tiger Paws" Commercial. SHe only lets me drive is when I "Have Been GOOD" so I do not drive it as much as I like. We have already Put it on the Dyno and it makes 152 RWHP (Real Wheel Horse power) out of the 162 advertised! We will install a 15% smaller Pulley and have the board remapped! at 4K, they richen up to the point that the computer could not read it at 5.5K because is only went to 9 to 1 A/F Ratio. Can you imagine 4 more pounds of Boost and at A/F at no worse that 11 to 1?
BTW, the wheels are 17's and the tires are 205 / 45-17's Run Flats! We are going to at least 215 and checking to see if 225 / 35 17's will fit!

I finally read a shootout on it. It came out pretty damn good. The writers and testers liked it enough to give it the nod. They said it handles like a go cart. Sounds fun. I did have to laugh about the cargo capacity. 5.5 or so cubic feet! The competitors had three times as much! Anyway they look like a kick in the butt. And Vincent I would keep you away from it also. Your a damn hot rodder!! Now myself I could be trusted with it!!

Looks like cold to me!
I turned a black man white when I was stationed in england.I only gave him a ride home he told everybody I was a crazy MF. I use to offer him a ride home once in awhile and his responce was always "Hell No" .I had a mini pickup and it handled just like a go cart.When it started sliding around a corner I just nailed it and the front wheel drive pulled it around the corner.I owned several minis when I lived in england.

The "wise old man" at the bike shop use to have an old one. Just loved it, swears he's gonna have another before he die's. He was very excited when he heard they were gonna be reintroduced. Have you been able to compare it to an original??? The old man says they're huge compared to the first ones.
Living in N.Dak., we see our share of snow storms. My wife drives a Suburu Outback, talk about something that works good in the snow.
