MINI camera and video is also for member shot video/technique, so let me know if it's MINI related or car related and we'll get this moved to the appropriate forum.

Yea, it is MINI related. It is an old clip from Top Gear, of the guys racing a New MINI versus a Classic Mini.

I will save it, and then attach it.

I think that episode was when it had first come out and there weren't any S's out for them to use. not that having the S would improve the tight stuff... probably just the straights.

I wonder if that guy knows that MINI is build in England, not in Germany?

[sarcastic tone on]What a loser to think because it's owned by BWM that it must come from germany.What now, the Jaguar comes from the USA? Oh no! The Jaguar company is owned by Ford, so all Jaguars must come from the US![/off]

And also this guy thinks that the world is made of small go-kart tracks? Has this guy never been on the autobahn? Try getting a classic with the stock 40hp motor to keep up with a stock MINI Cooper. Not on your life.

Also this guy rags on the new MINI for being too big on the outside and too small on the inside?! Compare that to a classic's tiny tiny interior...well comparitively speaking to the new MINI's interior volume.

Also how illegal it is to race thru construction site trying to dive under a backhoe!! What were they thinking!?!?

hey man... don't rag on jeremy... most brits are (rightfully so) seriously protective of their classic Mini and it's heritage.
