Is your MINI in a video game?

Just cranked up the old XBOX that I haven't played in
months and had Project Gotham in it. I was driving a
VW Beetle RSI in London when I crashed out a DS/DS
MCS with the stock wheels, my soon to be exact MCS.
I thought that was so cool I rushed downstairs to
type this. Well, gotta get back to the game to see if
I can "drive" my exact MINI.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope there is an MCS
float in the big parade today!!

My BRG/W MCS is an option on Gran Turismo 4.
Honestly, it handles fairly close to the real thing.

game on...

I enjoy driving MINIs in Gran Turismo 4. LY is represented though, unfortunately for me, with a white rather than black roof. It does feel quite similar to the real thing, especially if I equip the game car with street tires. I just wish the sound was more accurate. For a game where most of the cars sound quite similar to the real thing, they missed the mark by a lot with the MCS.

Guys! Forza Motorsport! You can customize your Mini any way you like. Engine upgrades, suspension upgrades, you name it. It handles like a Mini too. I highly recommend this game!

Forza is the best

You want to drive a 372hp MCS, go get Forza. It is as close as it can get to a simulation.

BTW, I was watching G4 channel, saw the new Project G3 on X-BOX 360, the game is off the hook.

Just played the new Project Gotham on my friends XBOX 360 last night, it is wiked. We also tried out the demo for Need for Speed another great game. Can't wait for Burnout though!

Anxiously awaiting my XBOX 360, got screwed by Costco who changed their policy from one per member card to one per household :(
