Drivin A MINI right now

As I type this I'm driving a MINI, of course only in GT (Gran Tursimo) but still. Im noticing that the handeling is much less stiff in the game, lots of sliding. I dont see much of that in my real life MINI, but beyond that, Polyphony Digital did a great job replicating the MINI

I hear Project Gotham Racing 3 for XBOX 360 has a 2005 MINI Cooper S available for download. I have one my copy on eBay for $15.00. Can't wait to try it out. HI DEF MINIs. :-)

There is wicked oversteer on the GT4 MCS. Crappy acceleration, too. Still, you can beat the pants off those other FF drive cars with a few mods!

It is considerably tougher with the controller, but so far I've managed to win the Sunday Cup, FF cup, and the MINI class races with the CooperS. You've got to mod the car pretty good to take the other "S"s in the class races!
