The Mini Cooper IS my boses ride! We always joke about our vehicles being completely opposites, just like the both of us. He is a fast driver, been with him in the cooper; has SC and is very fast and nimble, but that's what you should expect from a car that probably weights about as much as my tires?

I would race with him, I have a little trail that includes some very minor off roading, but he won't take me up on it. I will even offer to do 2 runs: he picks one and I pick the other, we will combine the times and see who comes out on top. I figure I could do 80-90% of what he can on the street, and he can do less than 10% of what I can do off road.

Glad everyone enjoyed the story and pics.
