...driving a new mini cooper!!!
its my mums. she picked it up last saturday with 12 miles on the clock and after being away for a week she let me drive it around 100 miles today...
despite not being able to take it above 4,000 rpm until the engine has loosened up abit it still goes like shit off a shovel... and will do 90 at less than 4k rpm...
but the best thing is the handling, jee gods man!!! it's like you got a limpit to fcuk a terrier... it's just OUTRAGEOUS!!!
plus it has loads of cool gadgets that i can play with... sounds good too...
a few words of advice though:
1. Citroen XM driver (grey) - your a twat deal with it!!! oh and to effect an overtaking manouver you actually have to be going faster than the car your trying to overtake... not slower!!!
2. LDV Convoy Minibus driver - i'm glad your bus was empty, 'cos its no fun having 16 passengers scared shitless, especially when your using the entire A14 to drive in a straight line...
3. Volvo 960 Turbo Estate driver - just in case you think i was trying a little race against you i wasn't though i must admit i have a new found respect at how quickly something THAT big can go... i know when you strap a turbo to an old volvo they're quick, but i didn't expect something thats actually larger than my house to move so rappidly!!!
thats my day over then!!!!

was once shocked on Italian motorway by a minibus full of Italian squadies. Me in audi100 making GOOD progress and they kept catching me in the corners (Italian motorways can be Very twisty). Doing about 105 round a corner looked in mirror to see squadie van ON TWO WHEELS 
and they STILL didn't back off. Italians eh; gotta love em
