A tale of Alfas and Minis

[Shannon Marshall <macerdoodle@domain.elided>]

I couldn't help but add to this discussion :)
I love Alfas.  I drive one everyday.  For years now as I looked around 
at all of the new cars available, there wasn't anything that I would've 
rather had instead fo my Alfa (anything under $100,000 at least ;-)  ).  
The new Mini has stolen my heart though.  It is a wonderful little car 
that does everything that it promises and isn't trying to be anything 
it's not.  I test drove a regular Cooper and the Cooper S.  The regular 
Cooper was lacking on get up and go...but that's solved with the 
supercharged 'S'.  I drove the 'S' for an hour.  I drove it hard, flew 
around corners, squeeled the tires, and got cheers and thumbs up from 
some truckers on the side of the road.  Don't get me wrong, I love my 
Alfa, but I love the new Mini too.
