Mini Test Drive

Went to a higher end car rental place in Beverly Hills last weekend so I could take a Mini Cooper for a real test drive. 5 or 6 minutes with a car salesman yacking your ear off the whole time was not my idea of a proper run. This way I could take the day, drive on the open road, freeway traffic, and city locations to get a proper feel for everything. At $99 a day I knew I would only want to keep it for 24 hours anyhow...but that was certainly enough time.

What a great drive! Love it, love it, love it! It's a lot roomier inside than I thought it'd be. The car definitely has a weight to it. Grips the road nicely around corners.

You can find a few more photos of me in the car here and here.
