Thank you, BMW, today you have given us (oh, well, at a premium, no doubt) a very memorable day on the road.
Today. my girlfriend and I have done some 100 kms of back road driving in the archipelago of eastern Sweden with our beloved MINI. The roads we drove were mainly limited to 70 km/h (haha!), very hilly and very inspiring. 18 degrees Celsius and the sun was shining. Damn, that was surely the drive of this year, so far.
This is our car, by the way:

Stock R56 Cooper S with the retrofit JCW Sport Suspension (why is the JCW Cooper not offered with this as a factory option?).
