Oh No! They are making it longer and replacing the supercharger
with a turbo! The front end is smoothed out, taking away from that
cute sloped look. Why? Why can't they leave well enough alone?
That means that I'll have to keep my 2002 Mini forever! (not a
bad thing though.) I was hoping they would come out with a 6 cylinder
version with a supercharger...maybe something in the 12 second/quarter
mile range, but now I guess not.
Oh well, I guess I'm getting too old for something that fast
anyway, even for my jaunts down to the track.
I just can't help it though, I like speed, in the proper
environment of course.
I sold my 1988 BMW M3 (Henna Red) because I didn't drive it much.
I bought the Mini Cooper S because I wanted a Mini since 1989, when I
first saw one at the track. Finding out that the Cooper S was faster
than my Mini S, was a pleasant surprise, but the M3 was much more
refined than the Cooper S. Taking a turn at 100 MPH down at the
track, is nothing for the M3, but the Mini, well, it's an adventure.
Being single, I can afford to take jaunts down the track. I was
married, but my wife ran off with my best friend. Well, okay, I had
never met the guy that she ran off with, but since he took her off my
hands, I now consider him to be my best friend.(heck, I even gave him
a nice check when he married my ex-wife....I figure, she's his problem
now.)
Back on topic, if they keep fooling around with it, it will be
just like every other car out there. I hope that they leave it alone
and keep it's diminuitive size.
