New (to me) Sidewalk

Hi everyone, I just picked up the car on Friday from an auction. I had been looking for a Mini as a daily driver for about a month and we just lucked into this one buying it sight unseen. It's a 2008 with only 62,000 miles. I took it to the Autocross on Sunday and had a great time and was pretty happy with it's performance considering the car still has Run Flat's. Anyway, I know you just want to see some pictures so here are just a couple that I have right now.

Welcome to the MINIacs!

You do know the car is even faster when you make the "Gang" get out and watch you, right?

Good looking car.

Motor on!

Yes, for the other runs there was only one passenger but for the last one of the day we thought it would be fun to use the backseats for the first/last time.

Looks great.
This shot reminds me a little bit of "Cool Runnings" the Jamaican bobsled team.
