New car...

Well, I'm buying my friends 2003 Mini Cooper S off him. I'm going to need something to replace the 1999.5 Golf I have with 203,000 miles on it. The Mini's going to be more of my weekend fun car and back-up commuter.

So far the car is great. Handles better then my golf, which has bilstein sprts and neuspeed springs and sway bar and stuff. And is WAY FASTER! What's the worst mod you can do to a 2.0L Golf? Drive a Cooper S!

No, he's saying that his new MINI is faster than his 2.0L Golf.

well oops, if i'm wrong...but I would think he should say it's the best mod he could have done for the Golf (if he felt it was faster) and not the worst.

I think he means that driving the MINI made the Golf's performance feel worse.

In anycase, it sounds like he's loving the MINI.
