Scheduled for Production

Your MINI has been scheduled for production and will begin to move through the "birth canal" at our Oxford plant, one of the most modern and advanced production plants in all of Europe. With our extremely rigourous quality control standards in place, you should rest well knowing that your baby is in the best of hands.

You know you're going to let me drive that when you get it, right?

Right?

*JEALOUS*

[trufflesfl]

Of course!

[maxmatahari]

Perhaps we can get our kids together and let 'em play.

Supposedly this puppy beats corvettes off the line.

Little Fierce Fast

The S? Not the new Vette. Maybe with the John Cooper Works package (200 horsies) it'll beat an '04 base Vette, but the new Vette comes standard with 400 horsies, and the Z06'll probably have 500. I love me some Mini, but it ain't got it like that.

As for cuteness, however, our adorable Mini has it all over the General's brute.

Read in a Brit car mag about some crazy fuckers stuffing the V-6 out of an M3 in a Mini, stripping out the innards to racing standards and giving it all-wheel-drive. That would beat a Vette. As bad as UF beats Vanderbilt every year.

Oh, man, an all wheel drive Mini, that would be a monster. With a M3's V6 no less. But where would you PUT that engine? I mean, strapping it to the roof would give you certain aerodynamic problems, don't you think?

[trufflesfl]

Have you noticed that you completely lost me in this conversation... I'll let you boys check it out under the bonnet. :)

[jamesx]

Oh, my, it's getting a little warm in here.

"Under the bonnet," indeed;-)

[maxmatahari]

Um, er... oh dear.

[maxmatahari]

And FYI, you can't talk about hight performance cars on a forum where Jimmy and I hang out without expecting us to check in, come on! It'd be like talking about scratch literature without careena getting involved. Checking under the bonnet notwithstanding. Ahem.

the level of testosterone here is so high that even i am lightheaded.

would anyone mind terribly if were happy that you're getting the car you want, all the while being even happier that i don't have to deal with a car myself at all?
