Browsing thruough the March 2003 issue of Road & Track yesterday and noticed 2 locations with MINI references. 1) a 2003 MCS (silver/black) was the featured car of the month in the Tire Reck's multi page ad. Shows the car with three different tire/wheel combos, all of which look great. 2) Interview with CART/IRL owner Bobby Rahal. The author of the article makes reference to Bobby arriving to the inverview in a red and white MINI Cooper S. There is also a photo of his car collection, which has an original MINI in the photo.

Thought you may find these of interest.....

Maybe I'm a little dense, I found the Tire Rack ad, but I can't find the Rahal interview. Can you give a page number?

I don't have the magazine with me, but it was towards the back if I remember correctly.

I wondered if the Cooper S he came in was a new MINI or a classic Mini. Any idea?
