Summer time

Unread post by Horst » July 11th, 2010, 6:15 pm

Staying really warm over here. Almost every box supposed to hold oil in my 151 is dripping. Time to rip it all apart.

Good thing I got a new toy fairly recently to keep somehow the mood high, the JCW Mini is the smallest and fastest car I so far owned.

The Goat is still there. 0-60 acceleration the GTO and the Mini are in the same ballpark. I have not timed the Mini on the quarter mile yet, but would guess it is better. Top speed there is a clear winner, I have done now a couple of times 153mph in the Mini and it does it almost effortless.

You will never see that car in the USA thanks to our freakin politicians. Oh, I am sorry, they know what is better for them, I mean us. :evil: :roll:
