great DD alternative to that monster you have lurking in the garage!!

 

i had a 35-45 year old woman in one next to me the other day. we started accelerating (normal, not racing) from a stoplight, and i could hear the supercharger, it was funny.

how reliable are these things?

 

The BMW dealership gave me a Mini-S 6 speed for a loaner a couples weeks ago. My GF hated how people would always stare at the car but it was a lot of fun to drive, especially since it was a loaner! I almost took it autocrossing but they finished up the work on my car.

 

Congrats! I have an '04 Cooper S. It's so much fun to drive as a daily driver. They spunky quick (not fast) and I get as much attention from people as if I were driving a Viper or something. I have 35,000 miles witout incident. I belong to a MINI club and the litle cars are very reliable and bullitproof for driving hard and modifying.

 

you need to paint the british flag on the roof... ....

nice car tho.. they are fun to drive.. and you can park that thing anywhere...

 

congrats, nice choice...driven a few and had a smile on my face every time......now only if they made an AWD or RWD one

 

I would think if it was RWD they would spin so easliy because of the short wheelbase.

 

I hear they are replacing the superchager with a turbo? Sounds like a nice combo.
