Rock The Rivals at MAG - Fri 5/6 - 11 -6

I would love to, but work gets in the way. Already taking next Wednesday morning off to close on the house.

 

I'll be there around 3

 

OK cool well I will see you guys around 3 then.

 

I saved you guys a donut....

R53 FTW....

 

Here is my review. Nice enough, but didn't feel very roomy to me. The drive was OK, but not what I am used to. The clutch grabbed very high up & it felt like it could use a lower first gear or maybe a bit more power. It fits a niche & I'm sure they will sell a lot of them. Guess if I need a new MINI with a bit more room it will have to be a clubster.

 

I hated the clutch. :mad2:
The rest of the vehicle was very nice, but you could feel the increased size and weight. I did the "cloverleaf" test before getting back to MAG and could feel a little more body roll than my r56 and r55. Just didn't feel quite as tight. Looking forward to seeing what the aftermarket will do for these.
Oh, did I mention I hated the clutch...:frown5:

 

I really enjoyed the Countryman, but I have to agree about the clutch...felt like I was learning to drive a stick all over again.

 

Pretty much. Maybe it was the donut crumbs from when Chuck was driving it.

 

Jeb and I will be there. You won't see us around 3:00 on the dot.

Looks like we had a pretty good turnout at MAG yesterday. I understand Nathan was almost attacked by some high school groupies when they saw him touring past there school in the KISS Countryman :lol:

 

Hey now....
ExTexans trolling the local high school is frowned upon in Columbus...

 

Ha! When I drove by the zoo on my way to the twisty roads the Zebra's tried to escape & hump old Alice Countryguy.
