Took our F55 (4dr Hardtop) on the Tail of the Dragon (NC/TN) today
My wife has been bugging me to take the Tail of the Dragon (just THE DRAGON) if you live in Tennessee. Today was a pretty day so we did it. I snapped some pictures of our day.
Bottom line on the ride, HOLY CRAP THE MINI HANDLING IS AMAZING. We got the Sports Package and I had no idea... There were places where I could take corners at 60 MPH and not even worry.. IT STUCK. The power was good for a little 1.5L SuperCharged engine. It's nicely balanced, and the most surprising thing about the car were the brakes... i ALWAYS had more brake than I used, and I was squealing the tires too... Well done MINI, Nice car.
I had a fun day with my wife's car and left appreciating the mini much more as a driver than I expected.

Can you tell me where you get this display? Is this unique to the F55?
