Do you have a skid pan Stefano?  It would have been good to have a video of the cloud that must have been following you!!

I wish there was a local MINI Dealership, like our Honda, Subaru, Mazada and VW.

There is a MINI near where I live that is almost this dirty. But it's not because of spirited driving - they just never, ever wash it!

"Mini and Austria's Magna Steyr designed the Mini Countryman rally car, which gets power from a 3.0-liter twin-turbo diesel producing 315 hp and 524 lb-ft of torque."

That would be cool to put that in a street Countryman :-)
