458!

It’s not a MINI … But driving it was so much fun in all the ways that MINI is fun, but hundreds of times more!

The Ferrari reacted to every tiny movement of hand on steering wheel or foot on pedal. It launched from slow to fast whenever asked, and stopped just as well. Thrilling on corners too.
But it’s not the car for me … No stereo system

MINI of Peabody “Hrach” rally 2011

An early start to MINI of Peabody today, but lots of MINIs there when I got there!

I’ve done lots of MINI rallies and this one heads right past work and then down Apple Street (more twisty than it looks on Google Maps!), so I headed off to park and take pictures as the other cars went by … Soon, Brig passed by in a Coupe, leading the rally, and followed by many other MINIs …

I didn’t catch every MINI (Sony camera apparently has to rest regularly!) After a wait, I headed back to the dealership for breakfast and chats with friends (and to check out Ivan’s next MINI!), and A few Hrach memories, too!

A fun morning – many thanks to MINI of Peabody, and my MINI friends!
