Vette Video

Find the video on youtube where he's tracking the Z06 Corvette. It is just NUTS!!

(And of course, I think Vicky Butler-Henderson is about the cutest thing ever. I think I'd tune in to listen to her read the phone book...)

pound vs dollar

That's what I figured. Actually, I think the pound is now hammering the dollar closer to 2.1/1, so the US price would be even higher...23k+

Not too shabby for a guess. It seems to keep climbing higher as the dollar sinks lower.

Correct me if I'm wrong but that was a standard Mini and not the S in the video against the Swift.
In the US the Swift was replaced by the AWD SX4 - 2.0L I4, 143 HP (ugly) 21/28 mpg.

You are correct. The MINI in the video is a standard Cooper & not an S.

Man Zimmy, that is one ungly Audrey.
