Sounds exciting =) All I've had are 2 test-drives, and only about 15 mins max a piece, around downtown Orlando, so I'm sure I have a lot in store in exploring the limits of the MINI's handling abilities, that is once I finally get mine =)

. I only drive on that road when its 99% empty and I make sure that oncoming traffic aren't in the turns.. But sometimes you gotta throw caution to the wind, just have some fun, and break a few laws. I'm stuck doing research all day and being a good guy. Its my 2 minutes of controlled craziness. Trust me I don't want the DSC to come back on again at least not in that type of situation.

keep it on the track dude
--I second that. Keep it on the track man. Yes the car is an amazing performer. It is the class leader on the superlap race series here in Hawaii. Beating out way more powerful cars.
You may be willing to risk your life and your car, but someone else shouldn't have to die to prove where your limits are.
KEEP IT ON THE TRACK!

And with that, a Moderator shall soon lock this thread. I can't believe it has stayed open for over 12 hours. Someone must be asleep at the locking switch this morning.
