So here's the MINI obsession moment I had yesterday:
Instead of music, I listened to the intoxicating sound of the intake deeply growling from hairpin to hairpin. The MINI perfectly agile and balanced with the rear sway bar set to stiff, and tire pressures staggered from to back to balance out the grip level. Only a flick of the wrist was needed to negotiate tight corners. What a great feeling it was to feel the car slip and slide on the wet and snowy roads :D The car's cornering attitude so instantly adjustable with a touch of trail braking or a bit of mid corner lift. Listening to the engine rev up and down while executing heel and toe downshifts into corners... a tuck of the handbrake to change direction instantly... What a blast!
Sometimes I think, I wish I had a quieter artistic type girlfriend, but I doubt those type of girls will enjoy the relatively... hmm shall I say, BRISK, way that I drive.
It's ok, my MINI likes it.
And I like taking pictures of it :D
