The Mini Cooper, need I say anything more.
I had the opportunity a few weeks back to drive
a somewhat tuned Mini Cooper that put out about
210 HP. This thing was a monster, it
almost felt like I was at a cart racing event
but in reality I was zipping around the streets
of Los Angeles.
For those unfamiliar with the brand Mini, it has
a somewhat storied racing past, founded by John
Newton Cooper son of a mechanic who had a
passion to race. He was the founder of the
rear-mounted engine racecar. These cars
led him to win the Monte Carlo Rally three times
and the Grand Prix 16 times - rather impressive.
After I test drove the car I started to play
around in some of the online sources and
stumbled across a the "John Cooper Accessories"
that further enhance the look of the Cooper.
So for those of you who have not had the
opportunity to drive one of these awesome little
machines, head over to
www.miniusa.com
and find your local dealer. |
