Do you hear that?

The deep rumbling of the earth as it shakes. The glow of the heat as the surface cracks. The sky darkens. I can feel it in my very core.

The monster approaches.

Okemo Hillclimb!



So I finally got to compete in the mini. Was it everything I ever wanted it to be? In a way. The car handles and drives absolutely brilliantly. The steering and feel is incredible. The power delivery is smooth. Although, when going up a hill ... there isn't really any power. This thing was downright SLOW going up the mountain. Through the curves though, it was a blast; I didn't ever really need to lift, except for the hairpins.

Here's an in car video of the poor thing struggling against gravity for 3 minutes and 15 seconds.
