I'll post some pics tonight.
Driving impression WOW! I can get into a lot of trouble with this car. I love the handling of it. I was not able to really toss it around during the test drive. I finally was able to drive it harder.
It is not fast but it is quick. Zippy to be exact. It is a lot of fun to toss around.
I feel as if I am more likely to get a ticket in the Cooper than my 7.
I love the whine of the supercharger too. The 6 speed tranny is fun too. It is crisp and precise.
I am looking foward to Autocrossing it. I am really looking foward to getting my John Cooper Works upgrade installed. 35 More HP and lots more torque too. I have been told it will transform 1st through 3rd gears.

Awsome, glad you finally got it!! Zippy is a good way to describe the excelleration, 35 more hp will be a nice improvement. You have plans for rims? The guy I knew with the mini had a set of rims, gave it a nice look.
