After watching the Tour de France, I'd love to take it on the Alpe d'Huez (sp?), those twisties looked awesome! I'd love to bike it, too...

Would have to be the Great Ocean Road. Did the trip from Melbourne to Adelaide by bus about five years ago and swore I would go back some day and drive it. MINI Convertible would be the perfect car

It would have to involve some of those wonderful alpine passes in France and Italy. Surely Mini heaven!
