psu_Crash Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Ok so I was out the other day just cruising still working on breaking in the new engine and this mini cooper pulls beside me and hits it. WOW! I am telling you that thing was incredible fast. I just kept cruising. No reason to kill the new engine for all that. It was a turbo and had performance stickers all over it. Not sure I wanted to mess with him anyways. Maybe another day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starquest86 Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 correct me if im wrong but i thought the mini cooper s was supercharged hence the "s" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Venable Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 they were supercharged, but on the new ones, they switched over to a turbocharger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shift1313 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 they are quick little cars but the handling is what does it. It really is like driving a go cart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psu_Crash Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 HA HA !!! I saw him again today finally .. at least i think it was the same one. Same stretch of road, same stickers. You were right ... I had no problem at all walking him. He did the same thing. Pulled up beside me, but i didn't give him a chance. Hit it immediately and all he saw was tail lights. I let off it about a mile up the road and he was far enough back I wasn't sure it was him. Don't know if he let off when he realized the inevitable or was really that much slower. Either way this just made my freakin' Day! I bet he won't do that again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
