As far out as that is, I would take it over a MINI
But damn, the specs for the JCW MINI are impressive
Wow, somehow I missed that! Kinda looks like an early forerunner to the CR-Z.

Nope, going in on Monday for that... another reason why I did not push it much today...

It's definitely time to do the brakes - I can feel a pulsation now, which I could not when I first bought the car.

Cellphones and computers will no longer be the same. Expect to see flame surfacing and other weird lines on them
