Got some for you... (Yes... Thats me...) Everything about that car it nutz!! Our STL Bentley dealer is now an authorized Bugatti/Ferrari/Lamborghini/Bentley/anything really expensive, dealer.... The guy there was nice enought to let me in after hours which is why its dark, but it was the abilty to go see it in real life.

 

You sat in one?! I hate you. Well, actually more jealous than hate but you get the idea. The horsepower gauge is sweet.

 

Honestly I would rather have another car besides that.. Now dont get me wrong yea I would take it but I dont see that car that practical.

I didn't go to sit in it or even touch it, In fact they were closed and the guy there saw me looking at it thought the windows and he asked me if I wanted to get closer.. Of course I couldn't say no... and making small talk about the MINI and me being a car nut I asked him if were to be possible if I could sit in it..

Thinking NO, he came back with sure, let me see if I can find the keys... OMG... DROOL!!!! and all he asked is that I didn't scuff the leather..

Really if you have the chance to see one, go see it, The most astonishing thing about it is the fact they can put that power to the ground, and the fact the sales tax alone is more than my house.. Honestly.. $135,000 is the tax on it... Just ridiculous. I was shaking the whole night. I wanted to get pics of the MINI there at the dealer with some Lambo's and Ferrari's but I was shaking so bad and wrapped up in the moment I drove off and the next morning realized I didnt even get 1 pic of the MINI.. A chance of a lifetime..

Few tidbits to put away for awkward pauses at dinner parties...

$20,000 for new tires, replaced after 3,000 miles
$70,000 for new wheels after three tire changes (9,000 miles)
Quad turbo W16 1001bhp
After tax in MO (7.55%) 1.720000 ( 1 Million 720 thousand dollars)
** I wonder if you have to take that for emissions....

 

 

 

 

That is a hell of a lot of turbo on that motor.
