10 bucks says he is of German descent (as opposed to me - Brit), coz no brit in his right mind would call a supercharger a kompressor.


Didn't your grandfather ever tell you to watch out for the Hun in the Sun?? :smile:

Not a snowballs chance in hell could even a JCWS beat the Carrera 4S, I have driven both and while both are fun the 4S can beat the Mini going backwards.

You just lost 10 bucks. (not british, and not german)

we are arguing because it seems that Mr. Camel thinks the MCS is the fastest car in the world, like many people who dont know how to make the distinction between the fastest car they ever drove and the fastest car on the planet.

With time and experiance, they always end up understanding...

Also, notice how he has still not answered the original question: Name cars that you think are faster.


I say he is in denial

I would like a list of cars that you think can beat a mini so we can all learn from your "great knowledge" of the mini and other cars.
Acceleration: Enzo
Cornering: MINI with AWD
Braking: MINI with bigger brakes.

anything else?

Note: This thread is now WAY off topic. It was, from the beginning, not even remotely trying to compare the all-out performance of the two cars. It was meant to relay a very pleasant experience in the real world. This happened, and no foul play was involved. Just good ol' fashioned silliness with a measure of glee. I see neither in recent posts. . We're a _community_ so start showing some respect, please.

see above.

btw... sorry for delay, but I had to fix a bug real quick in the DistTracker module of this application i'm working on. The recordset would bomb when it got a value that was Null. QA didnt find it because we didnt test this scenario. But im back, im back.

Whats this about me in denial??

I agree this has been way off topic, I guess we should of started another thread to discuss:

"delusional MINI owners"
