Tonight MINI invited us all to a very COOL place, Minus 5 – and gave us all a free cocktail! Minus 5 is a great bar, but also has a cold room (-5c), where everything is ice, seats, walls – even the drink glasses!
And there was an ice MINI too 🙂
Four years ago, I took a couple pictures of GPMINI at the Bellagio hotel, now four years later, here’s some more!
Autoguide has some words on the Countryman as they ride MTTS:
The Countryman S I drove uses the familiar turbocharged 4-cylinder engine making 181 horsepower and 177 ft-lbs of torque. The power delivery is a bit slower than its two door stablemates, but the same taut steering, slick-shifting 6-speed gearbox and powerful brakes are still present.
MINI CEO Jim McDowell let it slip to me that the ALL4 system will cost an extra $1700 on top of the base price (which he didn’t divulge) and that he expects 30% of buyers to opt in.
MINI will host a formal driving event in October.
