Tested them for 'Evoness' (for those not in the know thats driving pleasure, the ability to stand out as something special, put a smile on your face every time you drive them)

MINI Cooper came out above the Type R, 4 stars to the MINIs 4.5 stars...
They said the Type R lacked feel in the steering and its chassis lacked that of its predecessor

What id like to call the (Cheese Factor) : )

So if thats the case then i cant wait to get my 'S'


This ones a bit confusing, coz it's in the "Cooper S" area of the forum. So before one of the moderators spots it and spits the dummy and moves it, you might want to cut and paste it into the now long running "Honda Type-R (the quick family wagon)" thread. It's a good post and might stir some better responses in that thread. Just delete this thread after you've done it.

If you want to leave it here, thats up to you, and please feel free to tell me to go take a hike.......)
