		<description>&lt;p&gt;Quite by accident I met a guy tonight who has raced a MINI Challenge Cooper S in New Zealand. Apparently the only reason New Zealand has a 20 car series is because Team McMillian BMW in New Zealand purchased (for $1!) the 20 Challenge cars that were used in a show race before the Melbourne F1 GP. Now it all makes sense!&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;That is insane! While I have experienced some real low temps, I have never lived in the frozen white north.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But let me tell you this.... Walking down the street in 95F weather and 100% humidity isn&#039;t pleasant either.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Speaking of cold weather, when I was living in Ottawa, I once walked to school when it was -40 with the wind chill. That was a wee bit chilly.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No - more that you&#039;re bound to stick that GP nose where it shouldn&#039;t be :-)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Gabeâ€™s JCW is not visceral enough. He needs a new bad boy, something along the lines of a 135iâ€¦&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&#039;ll tell you what&#039;s visceral... walking three miles a day to work in single digit temperatures.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I smell a late-breaking dive into the first turn by Todd that wouldnâ€™t end pretty.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Yesh - and the winner is not the fastest mini, but the MF&#039;r that has the most visceral experience, cause we&#039;ve determined that&#039;s what&#039;s most important after all...&lt;/p&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Thereâ€™s drama between the GP and the R56 plus DBâ€™s velvet red cooper with 2 million miles on it - something for everyone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I smell a late-breaking dive into the first turn by Todd that wouldn&#039;t end pretty.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I think yourself, DB and Todd should each buy one and start a series of your own! Better yet, MINI USA should donate you a car each as a way of getting the community interested. I could think of worse ways for them to spend their money.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That&#039;s a great idea.  In fact, the three of you should just start a series using your current cars.  There&#039;s drama between the GP and the R56 plus DB&#039;s velvet red cooper with 2 million miles on it - something for everyone.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Of of the reasons is that many casual &quot;racing fans&quot; here donâ€™t care about anything other than Nascar. If they canâ€™t sit in the stands and see their favorite rotating billboard the entire time they could care less.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

  &lt;p&gt;Iâ€™m from New Zealand and we have a total population (all cities) of just over 4 million people. I think most of the major cities in the US have more people than thatâ€¦so it does somewhat surprise me that NZ can have a MINI Challenge series but the US cant yet put one together.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;So much of the money and interest gets sucked up by &quot;stock car&quot; racing.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Another great show and thanks for the mention, glad you liked the photos. Have a great time at AMVIV everyone - sounds like a great event, maybe I&#039;ll fly over and rent a MINI for it one year!&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Really looking forward to next weekend. The Portland Oregon auto show will have a Mini display. Have already confirmed that the Clubman will be there. Will be interesting to see how it looks in person.&lt;/p&gt;
