MINI finally showed up on the national news in the ending bit on CBS/Sunday on the east coast. There were many shots from a car show, red/white,blue/white and a yellow/black S. The end clip showed the S slide a 180 in the street as he parked it between two other cars.

They also featured a classic Mini.My dealer finally opens in the morning and test drives of both for all. I wonder if the motoring advisor could handle that maneuver

Just ask him, and if not, ask if you can try it.

Ask this AFTER you've been handed the keys, or you might never get them.

That maneuver has only been perfected by one driver that I know of. Russ Swift's MINI Display Team was in NYC last week to perform before the opening of the New York Auto Show. BTW he is a member of MINI2 as swiftruss.
