What was I thinking all these years?

so i have now had my 2011 mccs for about a month and even though it needed a few little things in that time, this has got to be the MOST FUN CAR IVE EVER OWNED. Seriously its just fun to drive. I have always been a musclecar guy and occasionally dabbled with an bmw coupe but none of them have been as fun.

Even tho i do miss the bottom end power of a v8 and am not really fond of turbos (for the same reason) this car is just plain fun.

I hope everyone else here this christmas season is enjoying the holiday parking lots as much as me this year 😊

sorry just had to post that and i hope everyone has a great holiday and thx for the wealth of knowledge you guys have already shared on here.

Bring that up to North Carolina and we will show you what fun is all about in a MINI.

If you don't mind hangin with some retired guys, can usually put together a little twistie tour up in these parts. Even have some young whipper snappers tag along once in while.

Bragg is in what we call the Sandhills, need to head up Charlotte, then NW until you hit the Appalachians. Deals Gap where the Tail of the Dragon is would be like Space Mountain being 11 miles long.
