I wonder how many Minis that cost him? I saw one of those in the Short North a few years ago, the sound it made was like magic.
Sat in and Revved one with the AWE Tuning exhaust on it. It's as close as I'll ever get to sitting in a LMP1 car.
Actually saw one on the road out here in the middle of nowhere a couple of years ago. Guess if you can afford the car, the service costs are within reach.
I love seeing exotic cars in weird places: 1998'ish was in a suburb on a main drag and got passed by a Viper and a Lambo who were probably going 2.5 times the speedlimit. Got to the grocery store and they were parked in the lot. 2002'ish on vacation with my parents in the middle of Montana on a 2 lane road under construction. While waiting to go through a group of Italians went the other way probably 10 Lambos 6 Ferraris and 1 Porsche CGT. Best part was being at the point where the road opened up again so they were all on the power and it sounded wonderful.
