You have a link to your mini for sale?

 

sorry
haven't updated my signature. Mini's already sold

 

yes that's how i feel when i drive my car. no apology here.
Now that said, doesn't mean i am not a true porsche enthusiast. It just means i love this car for more than it can mechanically do.

 

+1 -- as of 2+ weeks ago, I own both a 06 997C4S Cab (purchased new) and an 07 M6 Coupe (pre-owned, but new to me). Both are absolutely phenomenal cars, but quite different from one another. C4S handles better -- way better -- but, based on my near-daily drives in the M over the last 10 days or so, I think it would trounce my pcar in a straight line/rolling start -- no mods necessary. The M6 is scheduled for a minor suspension upgrade (Eibach springs) next week. I don't expect it will or ever could ever handle like the much lighter, lower, shorter-wheelbased, AWD pcar, but it could definitely get a little closer. It's my DD so it's perfectly fine if it doesn't carve corners quite as precisely. I love 'em both -- the beast and the beauty. Having both is automotive heaven on earth as far as I'm concerned.

 

I can relate to this commercial..... For me it really is childhood dream come true.
