Top Gear has some fun w/ Mini's

I was going though season 11 of Top Gear and came accross this segment. British cars and drivers vs German Cars and drivers. Of course for this one challenge both teams chose Mini's. Hilarity ensues.

I think the reasonably priced compact should be a '03 R50. I saw that episode before I bought my MINI. Much cooler this time round. =)
