The Taste Of The Western Wasabe ( Mini's range Carnival )

Hi everyone.We all know the fact that most people are crazy about Mini Cooper sport mini because of  it's eyes catching design as well as the performance for those who want less with more.
Mini cooper has been listed one of the most charisma , the most important car in the automobile history .It was design by the Sir.Alec Issigonis in the early 60s.
This Mini car has been the "spot light" in many movies such as the italian job in 1969 as well as in 2003 , Bourne supremacy and Mr. Bean Oh course!
The recent event that i took part was the important publicity campaign to showcase the 2011 Mini Cooper , S version and also  Countryman.
Is was held at the MINI showroom which next to the BMW head quater in Glenmarie , Shah Alam.There were about 8 participants ( Including myself ) with 4 instructors and the journey start from here to Putrajaya , MARDI center and come back.
After arrived at MARDI then we were instructed to drive to the open car park .... and then we did some handling stuff but what arouse me is when the instructor perform 180 degree reverse turn and some tyres burning scene .It was just awesome.
I was driving a Mini Cooper S from the start & with Mini Cooper on the way back.I was addicted to the shear power of the "S" version which more fun to drive compare with the standard version.
My top speed on the highway was closed to 200 km/h with "S" version and thankyou so much for the turbo charger that generates more power & torque to the engine. So , my advise is focus on the "S" version for those who want great performance.
