SKW wants a MINI?

My good friend, SKW is deciding whether he wants a MINI. He seems very interested in my modded MCS and is a frequent visitor on NAM. If everyone gives him their THREE best resons to buy a MINI I think he will go for it. I'll start (1) street legal go-kart (2) easy and cheap to mod and (3) meeting other MINI owners

That said, 1) the real fun begins in the turns
2) the mini dominates in the turns
3) Most of the people on this forum have one

2. Friendliness/Community of MINI owners - lots of activities, clubs, advice, support, etc.
3. Reasonable price for the amazing amount of FUN!

1) You can't go on a double date in an Exige.
2) You can't go on a double date in a Cayman S.
3) You could go on a double date in an M5, but you could afford to go anywhere given the monthly payments and the price of gas.
