Well I got to take the new 06 Mini for a test drive today and I have to say it really drives nicely. It gets off the line smoothly and makes power quickly and zips through the gears. The suspension is compliant and takes the bumps with no upset or tire skipping. I went out on a little bumpy road in the rain and powered out of corners with full throttle and it pulled strongly with no slipping or torque steer. It was really fun to drive.

 

 

 

Cool deal - does it have the LSD? Where is Willow Creek Hollow?

 

Yes it has the LSD. If I had driven the same in my 03 it would have been tire spinning and weaving all over the place. I live in Dublin, California. Happy Valley Road is in Pleasanton.

 

looks like you're going to have a fun day, week, year! congrats.
