The mini cooper was better than just a good racer, they dominated in their class once upon a time in the 60's!I've heard stories of minis beating up on much bigger and higher horsepower cars, just becaause of the superior handling and accellaration. I watched an interesting show about the re-invented mini. Its a pretty zippy little package. You wanna talk about handling? theese cars are like go karts! Not much point to an air bag for safety huh?

My brother-in-law still has his original Cooper S. I believe it's a 1967. It's a blast to drive! Kinda like a go cart on the street.
I like those new Coopers, think they'd make a great city commuter car.
