my 1st mini story

story starts.

sat at a set of traffic lights onto a large roundabout, I've had my cooper s just a day so 200miles on the clock and still taking it nice and slow. Lights go green and off we go, I pull away noticing (in fact hearing) an old Ford Sierra to my left, the engine crying for him to change gear as it attempts to prove I'm no match for him (BTW: Still taking it easy) He screams past me undertakes and then over takes another car in his lane before swerving across both lanes to take a sharp left , slightly downhill, off the roundabout. reckless. but what the hell I'm quite happy sat behind, content I'm driving the car of my dreams. As I come round the sharp left turn taking full advantage of the buckets of grip my new car offers I see the Sierra's back end start to overtake itself as it turns into a spin. The guys spins 550 degrees+ before slamming into the central reservation and back onto the road. Stopping in plenty of time to avoid him I drive round his car and pull up on the road. The other car he had overtaken had stopped too in order to point out his serve lack of driving skills, I get out to make sure he's ok, no-one hurt just a bashed car and quite a bit of central reservation missing. Asked if they needed any witnesses (trying not to smile) funny but he said no

mini wins,

the end.

DS/DS: MFSW, Auto Climate Ctrl, Chili Pack, 17" S-Spokes, 6 CD Changer, Tinted windows front/rear, white rear cluster lights. 1st March 03

great story... but prepare for more of the same!

got mine in December but there have been very few days where someone hasn't tried the same. Wait til you are all broken in... gets even more fun

have fun, drive safe

Trust not the heart of a man for whom old clothes, and the Mini, are not venerable!
