Thanks for stopping by. I actually didn't make it out on Sunday—too much stuff to take care of around the house. The 15's were the byproduct of frugality—they were take offs from the Type R we've been running the rest of the year. But yes, it is nice to see they can be on pace. Enjoy the Cooper. They really are fantastically fun cars to run. Right out of the box. Hi JIm. Thanks for stopping by. I actually didn’t make it out on Sunday—too much stuff to take care of around the house.

I was driving the AS silver Cayman S in the same run group on Saturday. It was a hoot seeing the Justa beating the JCW, et al. My interest in MINIs returned when my wife brought home an '06 Justa last year. We both autocrossed a '64 Mini Cooper S back in the early '70s. Now I'm spending more time on the MINI websites than on the Porsche websites. I came down to look over the Justa Sunday morning, but no one was around. I noticed it was wearing 15" wheels with 225/45 Hoosiers. I don't get to see top tier MINIs often, but from what I've read, most apparently use 16" wheels. Here's proof that the 15's can also work well. Thanks to you and Jim for the pleasure of watching how to do it.
