It is wider but as far as cornering have you ever driven a real classic mini cooper S or owned one? admittedly the new Bini is quieter & smother & faster on a motorway or straight road but I doubt you or anyone else in a bmw Bini could follow me & keep up with me on a hairpin, bend or corner, as far as being jealous its just your small mind, yes even its smaller than my car, if I wanted a bmw bini I would go and buy one, one last point to note, this newsgroup is for discussing things that relate to the original mini so try & keep quiet unless you can contribute something positive.

Just for the record, the simpleton missive from the previous poster is not representative of all classic owners. Most of my friends have both a Mini and a BINI. I am into classics myself but not because the BINI is a bad car. It is an impressive car and a very good one. It will also thrash a classis to an inch of it's life on a race track. Only clueless twits will defend a car as if they are defending there national flag. It's just a freaking car, get a grip.

minis on A roads, roundabouts & corners, this is what I am talking about,
nothing ever has passed me when I go round any corner... note.... I am not
saying a 41 year old car will deffend its self against a modern car on a
race track, nor am I trying to deffend the national flag, at least not today

I understand what you are saying but.. I had an SCCA prepared Trans Am a few years back that I used as occasional commuter car. I didn't (read couldn't) afford to drive aggressively on the street. I am sure there are many riceboy Honda Civic and Accord drivers that are going home thinking they abused me on the street. Perhaps the others were not racing you.

Well when they have smoke comming from the tyres & the cars going sideways I guess they aint playing trick or treat, the mini I just sold was great in a straight line too, 1460 full race ST5, I am talking about slightly modded cars here by the way, for my daily drive I use a v6 2.8 audi A4, I dont try to bull shit people, I also have been involved in building track cars & have raced them too, mainly bangers, dont laugh, you don't take any shit from someone you just take em out... head on, the destruction derbys are fun too.... Hendenford, Birmingham Wheels, Mildenhall....... Steve. ps never used minis in bangers though, 2.8 v6 mk2 Granadas.. |

I don't tend to get involved in this sort of slanging match. Big waste of time talking to a troll but... A London bus has a much wider stance than your BMW therefore better cornering. The Muffin Man |

I say live and let live and respect other peoples choices in life. Getting on a high horse because you don't like something is childish and pointless. Like I said, I own both a german fat arse and a rusty 1275 gt, I love em both. |
