I "rode" the MINI!

The one we drove today is called Cooper MINI. It's bio-data looks something like:

owned by BMW
manufactured in the UK
1.6L 16-valve engine
112bhp at 6000rpm
0-60mph in 9s
37mpg on highway, 28 in the city
starts at just $18.5k!

As if that wasn't enough, the real deal comes when you rev it on the road in the sports mode. There are cars to your left and cars to your right, but one kick to that pedal and right after the intersection, your rear view mirror is spotless. All you see is some blonds and some brunettes, their necks turned and craned (even men, for ye girls driving). The MINI is like sex. It can only be experienced, not explained.

Note: The car likes to run comfortably at 1700rpm, but in sports mode, it doesn't want to run below 3200 ever. Like it just took the pill.

It's one bomb! Oh MINI....
