On my to work this morning a guy in a Mini S thought his car was faster than mine... I felt it was my duty to give him an awesome display of speed. He got a nice view of the back of my car.... Some people

 

The Mini is a very nice car. My gf loves it.

 

The Mini S is a very fun car. Too bad, most people I see driving them, drive like assholes. Every one of them thinks they're in the movie Italian Job.

One guy in particular manages to hit 40 mph or so on the straightaway in my parking garage.

 

Ahh, yes, boys with toys!

 

Please let the middle aged women in there minis think they're faster. If not they might go in and trade it for a PT Cruizer convertible,and that would be just WRONG!!!!!

 

well....i dunno if the engineers of the Mini r moron as well..but i gotta pay them some respects...the new mini (not sure about the N.A. one....@ least the eurpoean one) has 8 gears......2 gears in reverse.....
bty...the mini is a cool car....

 

the mini owns

one of my coworkers (british guy) wants to get one with the union jack painted on the roof

 

I'm going to test drive the Mini tomorrow. My gf has been wanting to test drive it also.

 

Is she into small things?

(Sorry. Couldn't resist!)

XP

 

I hear the handling is really good on the mini and with a some mods, you can crank 200HP plus out of one of them.

 

I am not sure what is worse, this story or your handle. Do u drive a Mazda Zoom Zoom?

 

ahhh my friend has a regular red mini, and she is soo funny about the speed of her car.

She has raced almost everyone at my school and always insists that the other person cheated or something.When I raced her, I told her I would start from the starting line when she got to the halfway mark... hehe although it may be hard to see a girl get as red as the car she drives, but believe me it happened, and I was glad that she got it through her skull that her 127 HP lawnmower engine cant accelerate for shit!


Although when we were shopping for cars, I really had my heart set on the John Cooper S... but my friend's uncle said that I might as well pic a color i really like since, it will double as the coffin when i get crunched in an accident.

 

Mini's do have good handling but god damn they are slow!! and yes everyone who has them acts like they are fast and stuff. For example, my friends dad has one and he tries to act like it is all fast he even revs at 2 my bro kinda hinting like he wants 2 race. My bro has a 500 hp nissan. I wonder who would win??? btw it isn't even a mini s just a normal mini.

 

lol ok there are three people you need to distinguish from.

1. The person who thinks that there mini is faster then any car on the planet and believes it... A good example of this would be my friend. she really thinks she can beat anyone in her cooper...

2. The person who knows he/she has the slower car, but will still act like he is the shit, eventhough hes just playing around. This might be the case for your friend's dad, since he is older then us kids and therefore should be more mature and understand.

3. Then there is the ignorant one, that really dosnt know shit about cars, and sees either two types of cars and compares them with his mini.
a. an SRT-10 pulls up besides his mini, and thinks because this truck is so much bigger, that his mini must be faster
b. sees a totaly riced out car what may seem like a typical car, really has 5 times the power of his lawnmore engine.


Your friend's dad is prb 2 or 3


BTW what nissan does he have thgat has 500 ponnies? nissan Z twin turbo with stuff done to it?

 

hmmm, I've never seen anyone drive a Cooper S poorly or like and idiot.

 

he has a 98 240 sx bought it on ebay with messed up engine and everything ripped out most everything and put in a skyline engine and smaked on a turbo. also got buudy club exhaust and rims and every rice burner thing u could imagine

btw i think my friends dad is probably a 3b

 

dang he did some nice stuff... to bad that car isnt the pretiest one out on the lot these days, but who cares when you drive your car for the power...

 

If she was than she'd be with you.

lol

 

The first Miatas. The New Beetle. The PT Cruiser. The Mini. The M5.

Long version:
Face it, kiddies - there are cars out there that are just so cool, just so avant garde, just so wonderful, that they are beyond the ken of the rest of us mere mortals, and it is the avowed responsibility, perhaps from God Almighty, that the rest of us just have to be reminded of it, at every opportunity. I suppose this is probably viewed by the aforementioned "better" people, and perhaps God Almighty, as just sour grapes, that I, driving the lowly but perfectly honest and decidely "un-cute" vehicles in my sig below am just ranting since I did not make it in life's great lottery. I cannot wait to see what the Next Big Thing in cardom will be? Anyone care to guess? And how does one live with a TL - it has no bud vase! How did the product planners miss that one???

Short version: Some cars seem to attract the major excrement-orifices of the world. The rest of us have to deal with this abomination of Nature, like the avocado pit (too big).

 

The car is cool, but I have to agree that some of the drivers are in dire need of Bondurant time.

Saw one today being driven by a 50 something guy who had a really bad habit of making sudden changes of lanes, weaving around vehicles, and making dives for the off ramp across several lanes of traffic. In short, I don't think he had a clue where the hell he was going. But he sure brought plenty of attention to himself doing it. :sqntfawk:
