Fevered dreams

At the last autocross the fastest guy drove a Mini Cooper S, beating the Porsches, the Corvettes and the Mazda RX8 that usually rules these things.

And since then, I've barely been able to think about anything else.  It seems like a perfect choice, only a little more than a 2011 Fiesta but much more sporty and fun.  Ok, probably about $5000 more.

But I am trying to get a grip and stick with the original plan to get the best gas mileage possible and walk away from racing for good.  And I'd have to use premium in the turbocharged Mini.

And I could always get some competition tires for the Fiesta, it will probably be a great G-stock car.
