What up guys, just wanted to tell you about the best time i ever had in my mini.
I actually just got back from it;
Me, my brother and 2 friends were in southbeach checkin out the car show, me in my mc and my friend in some POS Toyota Avalon, so on the way back me and my friend riding with me decided to loose the other guy since he had no idea where to go: this resulted in a high speed car chase through the empty streets of southbeach with me and my friend crying of laughter and my other friend pissed as hell. i circled around a parking lot 5 times, i pulled a couple of 180's and some highspeed cornering.
now, when i mean high speed, i dont mean dangerous, just enjoyable.

anyway, i know its nothing too great, but it was awesom and i just thought i should share that

keep motoring,
peter

Hey there Peter! Sounds like you enjoy what the MINI has to offer... be safe now. Checkout some autocross action to really test your driving...

God speed.

I knew that someone would have to pipe in like usual and comment about being safe. To hell with that he's doing what the MINI's made for - having fun. Keep enjoying it!

Well that sounds like you had a blast.

OK, maybe lightweight rims SSR comps and sticky tires 215/45-16 would be something to look forward to if you still have your stock wheels on your MC.

i got some 17"s and khumos on it right now, which do infact work a bit better than the heavy runflats i had on before. and of course i didnt go absolutely crazy, i mean we stopped at stop signs etc. it was just fun.
again, if anyone has any info on an autocross down here in south florida, let me know
oh yea, and next time ill probably bring a camera out to film all that, that should be fun.
