Hey, Edge, your math works if they're in a straight line. MINIs aren't flexible, so it would take mini mini more to track those 318 curves!

To go even further with the math. If there were 600 MINIs at the Dragon (which we know there won't be), that is less than .5% of the MINIs sold in the US.

What the hell is wrong with the other 95.5% of MINI owners.

Now it may officially be time to change the thread title (again) to "Come on 700"!

Sure... but considering that we wouldn't ever be putting the MINIs end to end and touching, the "with following distance" calculations are probably a very good estimate.

Wouldn't you love to see a satellite photo of that? It would have to be in the winter - no leaves in the way.

There are 2 kinks of MINI owners. Those that are just a little off, love a Britiah racing icon, love small sports cars (I understand the MINI is the world's smallest SPORTS CAR), love having a good time, love meeting new people (even though they are a little off) and the others who wanted a little car that was kind of cute and don't want to associate with people that are a little off. I have heard that MINI owners are a cult. So be it. Why don't those other people (and you know who you are, but probably don't subscribe to this URL), why don't you get a 'cute' car like the crate the MINI was shipped in from Europe. Excuse me whilst I get down off my soapbox.
See you all at the Dragon in 5 days, 4 hours, 7 minutes, and 33 seconds, but who is counting.

Motor On
