TGGRRR (Ali) Posted April 2, 2014 Report Posted April 2, 2014 If you plan to brave the legendary Tail of the Dragon don't miss our Send-Off-Party! It's that time of year again! It's the time of risky, twisty curves, and all-out fun while driving on the Tail of the Dragon. that 11-mile stretch of US Route 129 is one of the very best driving roads in the US, and you must experience it all while driving your MINI. Before you go, come out to MINI of Alexandria for a proper send-off party. While here, you can envision the tight handling of the Dragon's 318 curves in a new 2014 Hardtop and Hardtop-S. We'll send you off in style, guaranteed. Thurs, April 17th from 6-8pm Passport MINI of Alexandria 5990 Duke Street, Alexandria, VA RSVP to David Hellmuth at david.hellmuth@passportauto.com or call 703-461-6275 If you're not familiar with the Dragon, we'll tell you all about this bucket-list experience that's a must-do in your MINI.

GreenCactus Posted April 18, 2014 Report Posted April 18, 2014 I drove the Cooper Automatic and I was really impressed. It had a lot more power than 1st or 2nd gen Cooper Automatics. I thought it handled really well, too! Although I was impressed with it, Cricket isn't going anywhere. :motor:
