    I fear I may be mainly responsible for steering this thread off topic, if not off the road... Apologies Mods and Peeps.

    The general consensus should be that you drive your MINI in a way (within reason) that YOU find most enjoyable and at a pace you're comfortable with - that's what NMS is all about.

    A final thought... I just wish I had a video of my (post-toilet stop!) single track 'solo' run from Durness to catch up with the NMS Convoy on this year's Highland Run. For me, that just nailed what MINI is all about - after that I totally knew my 'modding money' had been well-spent. Best 20 mins I've had in my R56 to date, and every bit as good as the high points in my R53 JCW 210 - which is saying something, as the R56 is often seen (in standard guise probably quite rightly) as being less of a 'Driver's Car' than the earlier model. But with a few well-chosen mods, it can kick ass with just as much conviction!
