I spoke with JF Drolet (drove it as Car #0 (course opening vehicle) until Mini USA went out) and Jason Cahill (navigated in the car while it was in grand Touring). Neither had ever been in a Mini2 before then. Both wer completely blown away by the car. I put a deposit on #62 today without ever having driven one (though I navigate in TSD rallies in one) based solely on the experiences relayed to me by JF, Jason, Jim Kenzie, and Brian.

The Mini USA car is a write-off...

Excellent choice; the car won't disappoint. Do you think you will be taking the car to Targa next year? And what did you think of your experience this time round?
#3 is listed in our system as being in MINI Canada stock - oh, well, it would have been cool to have a car with some history. There are a number still available at various dealers, though they all have the premium package and that is what I already have.
