I had lots of Big V-8 and the MINI is just a blast. 29MPG on the road and passing 500HP Mustangs on the track. I was in the snow heading to Thunder Hill and the Dunlop RF's did ok in the cold. Under 30 I lost almost all confidence in them and treated her like I was on ice. Was greasy but did fine but the snow was not sticking much. More just slushy. At first I was like the exhaust is weak and will need to be replaced. A tune and track time plus 3000 miles and it is just right. Broke in well. The Tune can be a bit of a handfull on the street as she really wants to go and gets better mileage if pushed hard from what I can see. Get it on track to see what it really will do and you will be hooked. AutoX wa starting this weekend but I heading for the mountains ont he sled. Can not get excited about running cones after being on the track that last couple of months. Was thinking about buying a full blown MINI race car but have decided a few mods like harness, tune etc and I am good to go. I did time in 2006 Challange Car all set up. My 2011 in way faster and has better brakes stock than the race car. Slicks and the suspension made the racer stick and rotate like crazy. You had to look for the next corner out of the side windows. Stock it tracks great and then can cruise 650 mile home the next day getting 29MPG and riding nice and smooth.

My detailer made them. He messed up the first set they were twice as wide and on both sides. Way to much red. They came out prerfect. It just a wider
redstripe with the flat black layed over it. 1/4" of the red showing. Put them over the top of my clear bra. You have to or your will lose the flat.

Il faudrait se rencontrer une bonne fois...comme elles seront similaires mais aux couleurs inverses, ça ferait des belles photos...Parlant de photos, j'ai hâte de voir ça!!! Félicitation pour ton achat!!! (en passant, tu es vendeur, mécano...?)
