Couldn't resist the temptation - I hate/love you all for making me do it..

Hey folks,

Well, after reading every post in this section and reading/watching every review on the internet, I ran out of reasons to not get one.

More pics to follow when I actually take delivery sometime in the next week or two.

You have a very expensive and jealousy-inducing stable of cars in your garage now lol.

Gp2

Been there done that, I still go for the Wee MINI GP you will have a blast. I have 800 miles on mine and I can feel it opening up a wee bit every day I drive it, and the brakes are awesome. Have fun.

Take it to BMW track day. You'll be faster than your M3.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. This car will be a real hoot at the auto-x events, I think. The M3 will likely be leaving my stable and be replaced by the GP2. It's going to be the daily driver and occassional track car. The two places I take the cars to track are NHIS and Limerock. The M3 does ok at the places (soft brake pedal on some occassions), but I have been addicted to smaller momentum cars ever since getting a lot of seat time in some spec Miatas at Skip Barber and SCDA events. Plus, I can't seem to have some type of car attention deficit issue.
