I got the upper hand against a 2.0 VW Bora today coming home from work. The chap kept looking at the Mini and i floored it on green till i got to the island and had to slow down.

Mini are great in town especially if you know the town/city well. Backstreets etc.

But I did strip & check the engine & transmission after that event as it was so hard on the car. On twisty roads there is still little that will beat a Mini with about 115 bhp and very low gearing and well set-up suspension. I was using 165/70 x 10 knobbly tyres with slightly raised ride height by the way.
The key to my car is that it handles so well, although the road-holding on tarmac on knobbly tyres is not all that good. But in the forests on gravel it's awesome - sideways everywhere .

Nah he doesnt. I think he became disillusioned with Mini ownership after getting ripped off with both buying the car and a certain Brum Mini 'specialist' that he paid to change his clutch and they very obviously didnt. I put right ALOT of bodges on the car when he first had it just to get it useable. Ive still got pictures of it here if you want them
