Anybody See 5th Gear #11?

Don't know how many people have caught the British car show 5th Gear, but eppisode 11 has some footage of the London auto show. All the other manufactureres had the typical displays with their cars, but Mini had a concrete pad where people (professional drivers) were sliding the car around and driving on two tires and such. It was very cool to see Mini's in action!

Talking about the British show, 5th Gear....

That was a good episode. Remember the one where the MINI was beaten on a racetrack by (I think), a SEAT diesel.....sheesh

Cheers
