well I didn't want to say anything, but I was one of the drivers (didn't use my car, didn't want to scratch it, you know how that is). Anyways the flips are actually no that hard, where as the flip sideways was a real b_ithc to learn. I would recomend practicing these manuvers on some side streets before going out onto the freeway. good luck and keep practicing, wait until my next trick, I am currently working on a forward flip then going into a sideways spin. Also adding booster jets so I can just fliy over traffic during rush hour.

Ah ha... and the plan for world domination continues...

Viral video posted on youtube masquerading as a MINI ad, featuring only black and silver MINIs. Of course we don't discriminate among types. Clubmans are MINIs too and thus party to the plot for world domination through MINI motoring love.. *draws a big silver checkmark on a scroll that trails off behind her for days.*

Yep... it's working great!

ditto on starting the day with a laugh -

Motor on!

NO! Don't try these stunts in your MC/MCS. I understand it is the improved weight distribution of in the Clubby that makes all of this possible.

If attempted in a MC/MCS, it's quite probable that you will be ejected from the car as it rolls down the embankment. Both you and your Mini will be 'totalled'.

FYI > The backflips aren't as hard as you'd think.
