I'll have to let you know about mini events. All sorts of new and classic mini guys with auto-x events and other fun stuff to do.

Gas Milage? Nah you'll never hear me complain. My RX-7's milage is totally dependent on my driving. I can get as low as 5-7 MPG although I usually get 9 MPG. On the highway if I behave myself I get 19MPG. Not bad for a 330RWHP car.



I still love my RX-7 but this Mini will make it easier to leave the 7 home and only take it out once a week or so.



The Mini might get me in trouble the 7 could get me killed.

i think a lot of that car's apeal is that in some ways it does feel like a toy. Interior is excellent, very sporty stance, and just an entertaining car to look at,



jim u have way to much fun, seriously, u should take up crochet or something
