http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61R0WtChu7I&NR=1

i love my mini as much as the next guy, but i couldn't help being suprised and swelling up with cooper pride when i saw the second run.
350z=287hp/3213lb.
R56=172hp/2668lb.


(^^or atleast thats what the offical specs are, i personally would beg to differ)

What do you think?

I like to see MINIs' win on the track.
Street racing is a bad idea. Some puppy could have just wandered out in the street and got smashed.



Or the little girl calling her dog.

Or a burro could have become burritos.

Yeah, I believe everything I see on Youtube just like I believe everything I read in the paper.

Sorry, not trying to rain on anyone's parade but a little bit of reality sometimes helps.
