Thank you, BMW, today you have given us (oh, well, at a premium, no doubt) a very memorable day on the road. Today. my girlfriend and I have done some 100 kms of back road driving in the archipelago of eastern Sweden with our beloved MINI. The roads we drove were mainly limited to 70 km/h (haha!), very hilly and very inspiring. 18 degrees Celsius and the sun was shining. Damn, that was surely the drive of this year, so far. This is our car, by the way: Stock R56 Cooper S with the retrofit JCW Sport Suspension (why is the JCW Cooper not offered with this as a factory option?).
Works engine tuning is a must, but for the rest I completely know what you're saying, since I used to have an S too...you're like this when driving:
So, we all know that the driving experience in a MINI is sensational. But there is another dimension of owning a MINI. The car stands out. It really does.
