Hello from LA

Hey guys,
I've been a Mini owner for a bit over a year, but I joined this forum just a few days ago.

My lovely MC is an r50 2003, silver with black stripes. ( :

Welcome to NAM, an enlightened group of folks that consider a MINI a very well handling small car.

Any pictures?

And don't let anybody say you have just a Justa R50. Did a mountain tour where there was a Justa and he did pretty good at keeping up with cars that had allot more HP and torque on some twisties. Now he was a pro driver, but goes to show what the MINI is capable of handling wise.

Hi and welcome to NAM!
Justa is no joke! I had an 06 Justa and it was a beast in the twisties and shamed a Corvette and a Mustang on the same day! They just could not keep up with the Go Cart Justa! I wish I still had it!

Thanks guys!
The r50 really is a phenomenal car around the twisties, so I believe it when you say it can keep up with some much more powerful cars. Lots of people forget how important it is to have a lightweight car.
