[QUOTE="Maniac, post: 531245, member: 20491"] I'd echo zhul & doc's comments above. Well organised event, and the mini's are definitely fun cars to whip around, especially at the slalom. i whacked the cones on my first slalom run, and on the second run had DTC cut power to the wheels (with a floored throttle) when the car slipped and slid around the roundabout. hehe. looks like i [U]do[/U] need driver training to get the maniac out of my system. a big word of thanks to Puven & AlBundy for a super experience at the track...i keep reliving the reverse 180 in my head with a big smile on my face "...reverse full throttle, flick to neutral, spin the wheel, flick to first, full throttle..." hehehe...gotta try it first hand! zhul and I got warned by the instructor quite a few times on the radio for misbehaving during the convoy (sorry Puven :4:) but we got a little frustrated cos car #1 was rather slow - didn't keep up with the lead, and the rest of the pack was stuck behind. my 2 sen, if you are considering one, don't bother with the regular coopers. what you need is the [B]S![/B]. Countryman S was a fun 4wd, very sticky go cart feel. But even flooring it, we could not catch the lighter and more agile cooper s in front of us. once again, thank you AB and BMWM for a really fun outing, and to docrayboy for getting us there! [/QUOTE]
