A little off topic, but here's the Mini that my wife (Daryl) just got:





Here it is with our "big" car:


The Mini makes the S2000 seem huge by comparison! It's about 1300 to 1400 lbs. Hers has the big, giant 12" wheels (10" is standard) and a bored-out, souped up 1330cc engine (they start at 850cc). The power to weight ratio is pretty damn good, and the center of gravity is so low that it handles really well.

I think she gets more thumbs up and waves driving the Mini than I get in the S2000.

Those are almost as small as the new SMARTs that have been
driving all around Europe. ;-)

In Europe, you can also get the cool Mercedes A Class if you want to hold more people.
