    Thank you.

    I had two of them and if I still had mine, I'd gladly take it up there and show everyone just how capable they are. I never met anything I couldn't keep up with in my MINIs. Sure, the big power cars could get away from me in the straights but no way in the twisties.

    My 06 was well over 100hp per liter. Handled like a dream.

    Umm .. a bit over-optimistic IMO. I've driven Miatas and Caymans that can EASILY keep up with any MINI, be it a stripper N/A or a pumping JCW.
