Guess what I drove today...!

Minispeed.co.uk's 260BHP Cooper S!

While waiting for them to install my 15% alta, they asked me if I wanted to go for a spin in there S. I just couldn't turn it down. James (owner) was not holding back on any of it's performance on the street! There were pple on the sidewalks just giving us dirty looks, I suppose he's cool w/ the cops, cause we hit 70 MPH pretty quick around the Tesco lot. HAHA Boy does that car pull!! The sound is so sweet w/ lots of loud whining! Then the real excitement came when we pulled into Tesco and he gave me the keys! I did take it easy around the block, but I can't imagine how it is on the Motorway! All of a sudden my car felt and still feels like a slug compared to there Stage 5! The JCW seats were awesome and kept you in place, man I could go on, but why...

I just wanted to share my excitement that I experienced today
