The 2002 European Tuner Challenge and Model Showcase was held on Sunday, August 11th, 2002 at the California Speedway at Fontana, California. As usual, MINI Cooper is one of the car that catches many eyes in the events....

Wow... I LOVE the breaks... Of course, I'm a sucker for a set of huge breaks you can see through the rims... But how did that last picture get in there?

yeah,
those brembos look fantastic!!! but for the streets (day to day commuter), is it necessary? actually, yeah i think it may come in handy. you don't know when you might need to use them, i.e. late braking someone...extremely late braking. maybe after i get the 200 bhp upgrade kit, then i'll probably need a bit more braking power. hee, hee, a bit....perhaps then i'll get a set for myself. but for now, i just like to look at them....they make me happy....
