a tale of two minis

the story of how i got my curent car is interesting. i got my first mini around october of 2002. it was a 2002 red/white MC, i was 15, almost 16. i had that one a while, it was the first car i ever drove. my dad liked it so much he bought a 2003 electric blue MCS for himself, that was kind of typical for his personality. i drove my MC kind of like a grandma untill i slowly found the limits of the car. i dont know how he drove the S. after two years my parents got divorced. my dad didn't take the MCS with him, he let my mom have both minis. at this time my sister just turned 16, she didnt want a manual car, so i got the MCS(title and all), and she got the MC.

i have sice modded my car extensively and mastered 'heel toe' driving. i also mastered precision manuvers including hand brake turns(90deg and 180deg), reverse spins, and ive tryed hand brake parallel parking. (i tryed this kind of stuff before i heard about Russ Swift)http://www.russswift.co.uk/services.html.
i probably should have joined this forum long long ago, there is some info i wish i had back then. anyway my car's website is listed in my sig; it details my mods and such, check it out.

I know, but I'm just saying that my friend tells me that he uses heel and toe technique... but he has an automatic car, and not a manual (he thinks he's a racer ), and my story doesnt relate to Nabeshin if that's what you thought
