Road & Track Magazine - August 2005

Just received the new issue in the mail! Within the magazine, they have a section that contains 12 cars that are guaranteed to "make you smile." It is labeled the Fun Factor.

Anyway, my point, one of the cars on the list is the MINI COOPER S! Nice to see they are including it...



Other notables (SRT-4, Scion xB, Elise, Mustang GT, WRX STi, Boxster S, M3, Corvette, Vipet SRT-10, MB E55 AMG, Porsche 911 Carrera S)

Thanks for scanning it early! Is it me, or is there a way to blow the picture up and read it? I could be lost...

I saw 30 Mini's today at the Portland Historic Races!

All were corralled together, some were autocrossing for charity (Children's Cancer), and all were looking the best! Since my car was MIA (picking it up on Monday) all the other owners were oh so welcoming and nice to the driver of the non-mini. Of course, I left that car in the spectator area.. lol

Helmet in hand, I had a splendid time. Tomorrow, the whole family will be visiting the Portland International Raceway to view more races and hang out with the great folks at pdxmini.org.

BIG SMILES HERE!!!

PhotoCompilation video to be put together next week for viewing :smile:
