Top Gear has some fun w/ Mini's
I was going though season 11 of Top Gear and came accross this segment. British cars and drivers vs German Cars and drivers. Of course for this one challenge both teams chose Mini's. Hilarity ensues.

Can't take Top Gear to seriously, but it is VERY entertaining

It does say they got to pick, maybe she's smarter then the Brits!
And, where's the rest of the show? I want to see what happens on the dirt track.

I think the reasonably priced compact should be a '03 R50. I saw that episode before I bought my MINI. Much cooler this time round. =)
