They are a LOT of fun to drive. Very much like a go cart... Except mine was
incredibly loud for some reason.. :) I had to wear ear plugs if I ever gave
it a good thrash, i'd hop out with ear ringing for an hour afterwards...
If I won lotto, I would go and buy one tomorrow and do it up for drag
racing..
Power to weight ratio is the good part. But the best part is that they have
a hand brake. 180degree turns are EASY in a mini... :)
Also good for reverse doughnuts. Get your face firmly planted to the
windscreen and waatch the whirld spin by!!!
Ahhhhh!!
