I'm in IL (USA), my family is in PA (USA).

They have only seen my PW/B MC in Jpeg form (Digital Camera Pictures).

So I was thinking how to sum up the MC (or MCS).

So I'm starting this thread because many of you express yourself better then I (a lot of creative people here)

So give it your best shot, describe the MC (or MCS) in 20 words or less. Help me out.

So far I have,

Fun :smile: Just Kidding.

I have. Fun with style, loaded, solid, engineers dream, level of detail is high, fast, quick and loves corners.

See, doesn't do it justice does it.

That's funny MgCman :smile:

We are doing that in October. My first (over 100 mile) trip on my MC. The problem I have on the phone is I can't express to them how cool the Mini is without sounding like I want to have sex with it :smile:

So I'm hoping for some key words that I can use from this tread.

It's as hard to get bored with my Cooper as it would be to get sick of your new puppy.

20 words. No more, no less, all true.

To that I'd add, "you have to drive one." Of course it still doen's do it justice, but its true.

Words just don't work. Even riding in one is not enough. I can toss a passenger around in the front seat, and he still won't know how much fun *I'm* having.

Hey Brgfan,

Your last sentence almost sums it up :smile:

I LIKE IT!

The coolest ride since 4 wheels were self-propelled.

Okay, here are three different descriptions you can use:

1) Even more fun to drive than it is to look at!!

2) Handles better than any Ferrari as tested by Road & Track.
Our slalom test revealed that the Mini can thread through the cones with moderate understeer and keep a blistering average speed of 67.6 mph, besting any current BMW, any Ferrari, and most Porsches.

Road & Track's review of the MC
3) WHEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

This is too easy.

"It's the most fun you can have in a car with your clothes on"

There ... wasn't that simple?

Cheers

It is the new "Ultimate Driving Experience" and it must be driven to be truly experienced.

It is the most intuitive car I've ever driven; I didn't have to adapt to it, it adapted to me.

More of a 20 word instruction manual, but what the heck:


DSC off.
Revs at 3500.
(Beat the stumble!)
Take off!
Shift.
A traffic circle!
Turn!
Turn!
Turn!
Smile.
Laugh.
Repeat.
