WOW. That is the first Blk/Blk MINI I have found attractive. It is definitely due to the stripes.

It's amazing what 'riceboys' can do nowadays - the mini at the top is very nice

I think the stripes need to be just a bit wider. It does look nice though being black on black.

Sold the Cooper. Now driving the Traveller. I mean Clubman.

supposedly the viper handles better than the mini on the skidpad... but I remember driving my dad's friend's viper...
funny how a car with ten feet of Bonnet can have half the leg room of a Mini, I'd take the Mini any day

the viper is close if not over a full G in all skidpad data I've seen, and the MINI is somewhere around .83 I think.

I did Magic round about in my driving test! (above picture)

My old boss had a Viper, it was scary as XXXX when it came to a corner but it was awesome in a straight line.

Just remembered this car, I think it looks even better than the above because of the tinted windows (something I wouldn't normally like)
