The Bees Knees!

I picked up a new to me 2004 Cooper S, Liquid Yellow and White, a few weeks ago. I have named it "The Bees Knees".




I raced against a few for many years in G Stock autocross with my 87 CRX Si. I was quite impressed by them, no matter how hard any of the owners pushed them, they handled even better.

My main purpose is a fun daily to replace my 87 CRX, but other plans are to autocross it this year, and possibly do some track days.

Just a rear sway bar, Koni Yellows, some 16x7 wheels and BFG Rivals.

Very nice! Picked up an 04 MCS last month and just love it. We have over 40 years track and street experience and there's some good reference info here on autocrossing:
