Here's me at light speed !
not really...it looks like about 15mph on the speedo.
It's a Mini Cooper and its probably the best car I've ever had...I've had faster cars, I've had roomier cars and I've had comfier cars but none of them felt a rewarding to drive as the Mini.
Much like the original mini the steering is so direct, it feels like a little racing car but unlike the original Mini, of which I've had 3, it has a useful turn of speed when you need it and it dosnt fall apart or leak or rust or loose hydraulic pressure on the brakes (and clutch) or loose coolant constantly or blow head gaskets. I could go on, really I could, but I dont want to slag off my old Mini's because they were really fantastic, even breaking down in the middle of winter in the middle of nowhere was an adventure, but my new Mini has all of the fun of the old ones but with a bit of dependability.

about the picture,
I had a camera set up on a tripod in the boot of my car with a 17mm lens.
It was triggered by remote control at regular intervals and left the shutter open for a few seconds to give the light blur effect then all I had to do was just drive around town with the camera on automatic and after about 5 miles, this is what I got. 

Just click on the picture to see it full size.
