TOD Day One Pix!!!

"Not to bash the Minis but....we ran into an owner at the inn where we we staying. As he eyed the boxster, he turned to my wife and actually said, " yeah that's a nice car. You could beat me in a straight line but you can't beat me in the curves."

My wife said, "have you ever driven a boxster?"

He said, "yes, they're a fun car but a mini will beat a boxster every time in the curves. You can accelerate in the curves in a mini!"

I walked away shaking my head......"

Well, there's bound to be an a-hole or two in groups. Some of them even drive Porsche. *L* I found this an interesting thread, though -- something I doubt would ever appear in a Porsche forum:

minis can kick ass in the autocross but not in a race track. mini vs 914 in the autocross? real close..

Okay, just caught the tail end of "Fast and Furious" on HBO. I can only imagine that day 2 on the TOD was JUST like the race scene in the end...as a matter of fact, I could swear that scene was filmed on the Tail, well, except there was more run off room in the movie.
Seems to me that one could go faster if one's tires were actually sticking to the road instead of spinning and slithering back and forth amidst billowing clouds of smoke...but then, I can't drift, so what do I know?
