The R56 events at MINI of Peabody and Herb Chambers MINI were both excellent and pleasingly different
At MoP, as you know, we really got to check out the exterior/interior of the cars, have fun with Hammer & Coop, etc. And we stayed warm.
In contrast at the HC event we didn't get to really see the cars because they were all being driven on two autoX tracks - but getting a ride as passenger in a car driven by Skip Barber folks was very impressive & fun (see the video on GBMINI.net)
In neither event did we really have a chance to drive the R56 in any serious way. So I'll be waiting for your reports Steve, once you get the new MINI
