Back in the early 60's

I used to race at Lime Rock and several autocross locations. I never had a Mini, but raced a 1800 CC modded VW sedan. The Mini's beat me every time! There was nothing I could do to get through the corners as fast as them-I could make up a fair amount on the straights but not enough to come in but a close second.
Just thoughts now that I have a Mini......

Cool,
What did you get? What year?
post a picture.

I bought a 1981 Mini back in January, it has been a fun year.

Nice, I like the "Chrome Line" trim.

I have a 2009 MINI Cooper non S and it has been a rock solid little car.
I just went over 100,000 this year.

The MINI Cooper Clubman gets the best gas mileage.
