[Biturbos4] Naughty thought...

A CooperS evokes FUN!  I've gotten to drive modified ones at Lime Rock  and 
Watkins Glen.  What a hoot!  I like going FASTER in my Z06, but  the Mini 
*always* makes me grin like a fool.
 
And the gearing is just about perfect for Lime Rock, which makes the car  
devilishly fast there.
 
My first car (and I still have it in pieces) was a 1987 Bertone X1/9.   You 
could drive the hell out of that car on the street with skinny tires  and 115? 
HP.   Lots of fun driving an underpowered, but very  capable, fairly light 
car.  To this day I want to pull it out of the  barn and sink $$$ into it.  =)
 
I also miss my 1987 16V GTi for the same reasons.  As much as I liked  my 
1995 GTiVR6 (much more refined), I just sold it and don't miss  it.  My modified 
2000 S4 I'll miss since I expect to sell it  shortly.  Nice balance of 
refinement, appointments, and hell of a fast  sedan.  Perfect on the street, snow, or 
track.
