I had the urge to buy a Mini based primarily on the looks as they are a really trick looking vehicle. I'm sorry, but that was the cheapest feeling vehicle I can recall.

I still admit it's cute and it still catches my eye but no way would I put the money out to buy one...

Mini, are you happy now?

Oh, one more thing... where is that 'I Lost to Porsche' T-shirt wearing moment that you promised?

How about this for a T-shirt:

'I own a MINI and it's unsafe at 80 or 90 mph'

see interview of the MINI driver (not Minnie Driver)

I dont get it. Mini was doomed from the get go unless they made the course super small and tight. Porsche NA should have taken the slot and received the good PR from it. I bet they are mad now that they know how easily they would have won.

Does anyone know what model and options were used for the 2 cars? It would be nice to know that a C2 beat up a JCW and not a C2S a base model Mini.
