Do you think the person who designed the front of that Aussie supercar met the designer of the back? It has to be the ugliest car ever!

Saw a HB/W MCS w/Viper Stripes Yesterday on the freeway to Melbourne from Geelong, slowed down, waved, smiled, pulled in behind, followed for 45 minutes... nothing...not even an angry look.....

grumpy bum.

Some people just shouldn't have Minis.

Sounds cool Russell! I have always wanted a HB with those stripes - I prefer calling them GT stripes

[opens_can_o_worms] Typically, Cooper owners never chase and wave - I think its the fact that a lot of the people who buy Coopers are buying it for the Cute factor, rather than the Mini factor. [/can_o_worms]

I opened the can of worms, and Mark just tipped them out and smeared them all over the walls

I was actually on the phone when she came flying up, so I wasn't really flying (I haven't fully insulated my mike against ambient noise yet).

Good cooper drivers are much faster than poor cooper S drivers.
