Those are some great shots! Any clue how it held up over the 24 hours?

Motoringfile.com said it finished like 97th. They've driven the Coupe already, and said it handles best of any Mini. I am very interested in this model (due out this year). Other than no back seat I don't see any downside at all. There should be a JWC model too. It should be the final offering of the R56 line of cars. The F56 will take over next year, with its 3 cylinder engine. Anyone else interested in the Coupe?

It looks neat, but with the issues I've had with my R56 I don't know if I'd ever get another MINI. I should have kept my Subaru.

It stalled on the 13th lap when the HPFP failed, just before carbon build-up in the head would have choked it.

I wonder what they are doing under there, changing the timing chain
