The Mini is more than just a car but an obsession. It's the Elvis and Beatles of the vehicle world.

While we're all celebrating our MINI-victory
Have you guys read Road & Track's review on the MCS, along with the Beetle Turbo S and PT Turbo?

The MCS just set R&T's new slalom record, at 69.5mph!!!
