Article in the new "European Car" Magazine made a passing comment about a MINI Cooper RS! Anybody know anything about a new model coming that is hotter than the S?....and if so, will their be a factory package available through deals to upgrade an S model to these specs?

You can always get an "R" decal and stick it in front of your S emblem like the RiceBoys do it!

I read that exact same sentence in bed last night and it got my heart racing even though I have aboslutely zero idea of what the RS would be except that it would be my greatest dream come true. . . .

Maybe I can get on the list now to be the first!

It always cracks me up to see those Honda Type-R race cars that only a couple years ago were being driven by the race-car driver's mom and being used to drop them off at birthday party sleep-overs. . . .

My personal faves are the cars that used to be a completely different make such as a Geo but have magically been transformed into something like, say, an Acura....all with the magical art of badge switching.

Indeed. A real Honda Type R, however will lay the smackdown on our beloved MINI Cooper S.

Heh, Yucca, your sense of humor seems to be as warped as mine...

But an RS... hmm... I'd go for one...
