    :cornut: E-brake Turns- We called those 'Boot Legger's Turn Arounds' in Anti Terrorist training. Reverse 180's were even more fun but, much easier with an auto-trans. Busting through road blocks was an eye openig phase of training along with: 1.disable the car but not the occupants or,2. disable the occupants but not the car. Great Fun!:Thumbsup:

    You cant't power slide a FWD car. You can do one heck of a fun e-brake turn. :D

    I wonder if they will ever make an AWD of the hardtop.... always wondered how the R53/R56 would perform with AWD.

    Also, I really hope those headlights are not going to sit that far back like the Nissan Juke

    The last time I got to MEET MINI higher ups I asked if there was any plans for an AWD Hardtop and was told that there were NO Plans for an AWD HT

    I would love one if there was one available.

    That's just disappointing.
