After 50 years we get a cool new mini

For the 50 year birthday of the Mini cooper they have reviled the car that they say will compete with the Audi TT. It starts out with chopping off the top and and making it a soft top. Under the hood they put a 211 horsepower 1.6 liter engine  and stiffened suspension.  I really like […]
