Also I think the ride on the Works minis is just brutal. But it's cute and it handles well.

Yep, ran it hard for three years. It's a great car for autocross, especially with a few subtle mods.

Interesting. This is our second Mini (we had a Cooper S for a few years), and I've never had an issue. I'll admit that getting in and out can be a challenge. Just goes to show that YMMV, I guess.

And yeah, the ride is hard, for sure. But I have a short commute on reasonable roads (by Portland standards), so I can put up with that for the fun factor.

Not proper but we have to share the road with all the yahoos that snooze their way around town.

Don't drive a mini or a Fiat.

Oooh! Sexy!

Wait, SapphicProstitute, what do you do when somebody calls your accent adorable?

Ultramaroon · 02-03-2019, 04:45 PM

I think the twins are cute as hell. Sports cars & go karts are cute.

Sapphireho · 02-03-2019, 06:56 PM

I don't have an accent.

Come to think of it, I have had someone call my accent adorable. When I was 15 I spent a day at a high school in Melbourne. Chicks loved my NorCal accent.
